    Send us a Text Message.

    In this two part episode, we talk with two young people about the juxtaposition of the mental health crisis of young people -- and -- the pervasive role of social media in young people's lives. Sara Lund (age 18) and Ingrid Ahlefeldt-Laurvig (age 17) share their views and experiences with FOMO, self-image, being united with others, and parenting -- among many other things. If you are a young person you might find their insights heartening. If you are an older person or a parent of young people, it's an important listen. It shifted some of our views. It also gave us hope and excitement about the future. Something we all need!

    Chapters in part 2:
    - The positives of social media
    - Views on different platforms
    - The maturing impact of social media
    - What makes Ingrid and Sara worried about the future?
    - What makes Sara and Ingrid hopeful about the future?
    - What do they want from adults?

    Alas, 2022 is coming to a close, and what would the WNTTAT podcast be if we didn't talk about it?!

    In this episode we share our reflections on what we feel defined society at the macro level in 2022 - as well as what defined each of our years on a personal, micro level.

    We both share two reflections on each ... some of it may surprise you! Check out the chapters if you want to jump around.

    1. Personal reflections: Shanelle
    2. Personal reflections: Jean
    3. Societal/Macro reflections: Jean
    4. Societal/Macro reflections: Shanelle
    5. Wishes for 2023

    AND,

    THANKS TO ALL OF OUR PODCAST FRIENDS FOR 2022!
    You listened from 281 cities in 36 countries across 5 continents. We are humbled. Thank you for joining us on this new journey. We are grateful beyond words and look forward to be back in touch with a new plan and ideas for next year.
