The Loneliest Generation: Why Our Teens are Struggling

from Mirror Mirror On the Mic · host malissamatia

In this powerful episode of Mirror Mirror on the Mic, Malissa and Inez sit down for an honest, emotional, and eye-opening conversation about the rising epidemic of teen depression. With rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness skyrocketing in the last decade, today's teens are carrying more emotional weight than any generation before them-but most of it is hidden behind screens and brave faces. We are joined by Shawna, a mother of 2 teenagers who has lived this journey and of course Inez who is also living this journey.  This episode is raw, compassionate, and filled with HOPE! If you love a teen, know a teen, or were once a teen fighting silent battles, this conversation will stay with you.
