jack amplified | Ep. 5 - Academic Stress: You Aren’t Just Your Exam Scores

We are more than our academic performance. Guests Lily Baker, Karl Zhu and Brooklyn Ranta reflect on their experiences as students and explore the impact of academic pressure on youth mental health, as final exam season rapidly approaches. We unpack how expectations from school, family, and yourself can lead to stress, burnout, and self-worth struggles—and how young people are learning to redefine success on their own terms.
