Abundantly Clear Podcast

Did you know that studies have linked the high use of social media to the increased anxiety and depression among teenagers? Yes, you read that right. Frequent use of social media among young adults and teenagers has caused more harm than good. This includes social media addiction, body shaming, cyberbullying, and less time spent doing constructive stuff.

In today’s episode Megan Gallagher, a Mental Health Advocate for Teens, shares how she grew up longing for a place she could go and feel understood. The lack of open (and honest) conversations amongst her peers motivated her to become the role model she currently is. At 24, Megan is a 2x TED Talk speaker, 3x Best Selling Author, AfterBuzz TV Host + Writer, Podcast Host, and Writer for Restyled Magazine. She is on a mission to enhance mental health and body positivity among teenagers. Tune in for a wake-up call on matters that are addressed by parents to teenagers, yet they should.

You’ll learn:

• How to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and confronting the fear of settling
• How to be in control of your life by taking you life’s inventory
• Why there's a need for parents to raise awareness on the effects of social media on teenagers

For years I have heard entrepreneurs say “I’ll get to social impact when I am profitable.” There are so many things that start-ups can do. Whether it’s the products they are creating, the research they are conducting, the studies they are doing, ensuring that they are hiring people that actually mirror the market that they are targeting, it isn’t just about writing cheques anymore.

“My mantra has always been, you know, shift your mindset, ignite your inner fire and then make power moves. If you can't make those power moves, we really work on the mindset, and then that fire that we have from within, that's what helps us to navigate when we reach the blocks or when we're at that point that we want to jump. And then once we jump, guys, the world is your oyster. Now we really get to create the life that we desire.”
