In this podcast, we unpack the roots of these ideas through intergenerational conversation and discussion, diving deep into personal experiences, and becoming comfortable with vulnerability. Run by a teen, we hope to help provide young adults with a safe and conducive outlet to truly discuss their beliefs, while also offering a safe space for adults to do the same—the issue goes both ways.

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.
