Robyn Silverman, PhD

Dr. Robyn Silverman is a leading expert in body image, self-esteem, and character/personal development who appears regularly on national television and radio, including The CBS Early Show, The Tyra Show, Fox News, Nightline, and more.

An award-winning columnist and writer as well as a professional speaker and success coach, she believes that girls and young women are assets to be developed, not deficits to be managed.

Dr. Robyn is known to tell her audiences that "It's not the glass ceiling that's preventing us from rising but rather our own self limiting thoughts telling us we are not pretty enough, thin enough, or good enough to assume our rightful place in the world; on top!"

Living in New Jersey with her family, she has been the content consultant for seventeen books for middle schoolers and writes a character education/leadership curriculum called Powerful Words for after-school programs around the world.

Her book Good Girls Don't Get Fat: How Weight Obsession is Messing Up Our Girls and How We Can Help Them Thrive Despite It is based on her passion to help all girls and women reach their potential, highlight their strengths, and rally the adults, role models, and leaders in the world to tell them that they are beautiful and enough just the way they are.
