In this episode, I talk with Jamie Watson about the issues that arise when parental and adult support is contingent upon adherence to their own opinion. Through this, we dissect the importance of seeking opposing viewpoints, personal growth and exploration, and having empathetic and respectful discussions that focus on gaining on knowledge instead of tearing down other viewpoints.

This episode is a bit different! Recently, I got the chance to speak on the topic of mental health at a virtual town hall hosted by teens interning with a program called Opportunity Now. It was called "Speak Up: Lifting Teen Voices," and I wanted to share this insightful conversation with you! Feel free to listen straight through or skip around, no matter which you choose it will be a great listen! Thank you for your support, and don't forget to share with others you think would enjoy listening.
