About

Chelsey Goodan is the founder of The Teenage Girl Cabal and the USA Today bestselling author of Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls. With over 16 years of experience mentoring teenage girls from underserved communities, she has become a powerful advocate for amplifying girls' voices and wisdom to inspire positive societal change. Goodan’s work focuses on reshaping environments at home, school, and work to empower women and girls, using her expertise as a keynote speaker, mentor, and coach.

Her bestselling book, praised by Oprah’s Book Club and featured in major media outlets, explores how teenage girls’ struggles with self-doubt, confidence, and leadership reveal universal truths about power and connection. Goodan leads workshops worldwide, partnering with brands like Hello Sunshine and Invisalign, and offers communication strategies that foster emotional safety and confidence in youth.

In addition to her work with girls, she is the Mentorship Director for DemocraShe, guiding young women into leadership roles, and serves on the board of A Call to Men, a nonprofit focused on gender justice. Goodan has also worked in the entertainment industry, promoting healthy masculinity and leading initiatives at organizations like Time’s Up, UTA, and the Writers Guild of America. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she has also written and optioned screenplays, advising influential figures on cultural messaging and philanthropic engagement. Her passion for authenticity, empowerment, and social impact is evident in all aspects of her work.

Testimonials

“Chelsey Goodan wowed my audience with her inspirational delivery and insightful knowledge. 300 people signed up for our zoom workshop with Chelsey on “The Art of Listening: The Key to Professional and Personal Success” and every attendee stayed the whole time because they were so captivated by Chelsey, which is incredibly rare for our virtual events. The comments from our audience were full of gratitude for Chelsey’s brilliant insights into how to create a life filled with success.”

Judith Balkin, Chairwoman
NYU Women’s Initiative

“Chelsey Goodan was an absolutely incredible speaker! She excels at tailoring her incredible content to whatever the audience needs and is able to do it on the fly just before the event starts. While her book is ostensibly about teenage girls, really, it’s a masterclass in listening, resisting people pleasing and toxic positivity, holding space without trying to “fix” everything, and being comfortable with discomfort. She has an unparalleled ability to speak to—and reach—both teens and adults and the boys and men at our event were even more intrigued and engaged by what she shared. Multiple attendees remarked how safe they felt asking vulnerable questions and expressing real fears. Several of the men and boys said they came away with a better understanding of how to support the teen adult women in their lives.”

Sarah Lacy, Director of Marketing and Programming
JAR Farms

“I had the privilege of witnessing Chelsey speak at a mastermind event where she taught high-achieving men how to understand themselves and others. Inspired by her impact, I hired her to speak with my co-ed team for the same transformative insights. Chelsey possesses a remarkable blend of sincerity and empathy, allowing her to connect with her audience and teach strategies that foster deeper individual and shared awareness, significantly elevating high-performing teams.”

Daniel Deitrick, U.S. Naval Officer

“Having Chelsey speak to our six different cohorts every year is incredibly inspirational, but she’s also very practical in empowering women and girls’ voices. She understands the nuances of leadership, social dynamics, historical influences, and the insecurities that hold us back from our greatest potential. Chelsey increases an audience’s capacity to grow, making the experience invaluable.”

Sarah Jakle, Executive Director & Founder
DemocraShe

“Chelsey is a total on-it, walk-the-talk, money-where-your-mouth-is, first responder vibe. I’ve hosted events where she speaks, and she teaches everyone not only how to bring out the best in teenage girls, but in everyone.”

Moon Zappa, actress, artist

“I had the opportunity to co-host an event that Chelsey spoke at, and she was truly fantastic. She commands the room. She’s very very fun and informative. It was really inspiring hearing what she had to say. I recommend her very highly!”
