Big update but if you’ve been following us since our last show, Teenager Therapy, you might have found it odd we didn’t just change the name and cover art of our last feed when starting GrownKid and instead chose to make a new channel, essentially starting from scratch.
It’s a long story but TLDR we didn’t have the rights to it. However, after a long legal battle, we were finally able to regain ownership of our feed and the audience we built over 5 years of publishing our last show.
So here’s what this means for you. If you want to continue keeping up with new GrownKid episodes, you’ll have to follow the new grownkid feed. This one will be renamed to GK ARCHIVES, the cover art will change, and will no longer be updated after this. However, if you search up grownkid on spotify, you’ll easily be able to find our new home where we’ll continue publishing new episodes every thursday as usual. We’ll also leave a link in the description to make it easy for you to find us.
Anyways, make sure you follow the new feed so you don’t miss our usual weekly episodes.
SEE YOU SOON FOR SEASON TWO!

this one is for everyone that knows the crushing guilt of going somewhere new or eating at a fancy restaurant and being heartbroken your parents have never experienced it. when classmates were talking about their lawyer or doctor parents, and feeling ashamed to say what your mom or dad did for a living, even if they were the hardest working people you knew. for those who carry the weight of their family with them everywhere they go. we chatted with Biyeni, a first-gen student, as well as Leo Gonzalez to hear about what it’s like growing up as a first generation American.

Have you considered quitting therapy? Well, it might actually be a great idea. In this episode, we explore the idea that therapy isn't necessarily a lifelong commitment but rather a dynamic tool to be used when needed. We debate constant introspection may do more harm than good, questioning the fine line between healthy self-awareness and potentially damaging over-analysis. We chat with our friend, Karan Brar, to explore the motivations behind self-reflection, investigating whether it serves as a genuine quest for personal growth or merely as a coping mechanism to navigate the psychological intricacies surrounding the fear of being perceived as flawed, examining societal pressures and the internal narratives that drive this apprehension.

tensions feel very high this election session and with election day coming closer we can all feel a collective anxiety. part of this anxiety stems from people deciding to not vote in this election because they feel like they’re choosing between a lesser of two evils - which is understandable but is it valid? we talk two young people - a white and hispanic male - who are abstaining from voting and want to understand the reasons behind their decision. to help us further understand the stakes in this election and voting habits, we talk with Rachel Janfaza, a journalist covering gen z political culture and all things related to young voters in U.S. politics.

Are all of our friends broke and in credit card debt or are they actually just that wealthy? We talked with young adults with various degrees of credit card debt to figure out how they found themselves in debt, if they have a path out, and later, bring on a financial therapist to help us understand our relationship with money. We explore the underlying psychology behind impulsive spending, the nuances of consumerism, and gain valuable tips on fostering money self-control. Additionally, we dive into the art of budgeting, offering practical advice to empower you in making informed financial decisions and securing a stable financial future.
