Can gaining independence at 16 really mean the start of a new set of challenges? Join us on this episode of Next Gen Psychology as we unpack the multifaceted journey of young adults aged 16 to 21. From the excitement of getting a driver's license and managing part-time jobs to the daunting tasks of cooking and laundry, we spotlight the balancing act of newfound freedom mixed with the ongoing necessity for parental support. The episode emphasizes that despite their apparent self-sufficiency, the brains of these young individuals are still developing until 25, necessitating a delicate blend of autonomy and guidance.
Transitioning from high school to university is a milestone often celebrated but rarely scrutinized for its mental toll. We delve deep into the stressors that accompany this significant life change, from adapting to new academic environments and financial pressures to the emotional strain of leaving familiar support systems behind. We shed light on the increased risk of depressive symptoms, burnout, and procrastination, and discuss how these challenges highlight the urgent need for better preparation and support systems for young adults during this crucial phase.
We wrap up by focusing on the power of building healthy habits for long-term success, inspired by James Clear's "Atomic Habits." You'll discover how setting clear, attainable goals and linking daily habits to these goals can create a sense of progress and motivation. We discuss principles like making habits obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying, and introduce the concept of habit stacking to seamlessly integrate new behaviors into daily routines. Additionally, we underscore the importance of adult role models in demonstrating consistency and offering emotional support, critical elements in helping young people navigate this transitional phase.

What do kids and teens truly need to thrive emotionally in today's fast-paced world? Join us in the inaugural episode of NextGen Psychology, where we explore this critical question and much more. Drawing from my experience as a psychotherapist, we'll dissect the unique challenges faced by our youth, from technology dependence to navigating the complex landscape of anxiety and trauma. This episode marks a significant shift from my previous podcasts, Better Bodies and Better Boundaries, as we zero in on the mental health of young people and provide invaluable psychoeducation for parents.
[INTERVIEW] Setting Boundaries in a passive aggressive family[SOLO PEP TALK] Finding yourself when faced with relationship issues and triggers[INTERVIEW] Your brain on restrictive eating
Reflecting on the evolution of my podcasting journey, I delve into the most impactful episodes from Better Bodies and Better Boundaries. Discover the profound insights shared by author Tabitha Farrar on rewiring the brain for those grappling with eating disorders, and revisit our most popular discussions on handling passive-aggressive family dynamics and relationship triggers. All these episodes remain accessible in the show notes for those eager to explore further. As we embark on this new phase with NextGen Psychology, my mission is to bridge the communication gap between parents and their children, fostering a supportive environment where they can flourish emotionally.

In this episode, I talk all about the collective experiences that people seem to be going through on an emotional level such as experiencing high levels of anger, all-or-nothing thinking patterns, and the experience of people lashing out toward others or projecting their own emotions onto others. I recognized that we are in some sort of "communication and understanding deficit" and will explain in this episode about what I mean by that and the steps that you can begin to take to gain a more meaningful understanding of both yourself and others.

Today's chat is with my mom! Last time we spoke on the podcast, we recorded the episode: My Mom on Moving Through Overwhelm, Panic, & Life Transitions. What's interesting is that we were both, on our own individual journeys, going through some tumultuous life transitions at that time. Fast forward to where we are now respectively feeling more settled; still in a place of growth and learning of course with ups and downs and good days and learning days. What's different is that we have both really doubled down on our spiritual and personal development work, we have set more boundaries in our lives, and try each and everyday to live lives that are more aligned with our core essence.

In this episode, we chat all about how to overcome the biggest obstacle, bully, and barrier in your life - you.

You will love this solo episode - I share all about how to create habits that stick with lasting behavioural change. You'll learn all about the brain, human behaviour, and the importance of belief systems.

In this interview with Christina, we dive into the effects of people pleasing and talk about returning to your authentic self by focusing more on your internal experiences.

We also talk about how to integrate what you've learn in terms of self-care and personal development and discuss some ways that we can begin to take action toward coming home to authentic selves.

We chat about how to support yourself through change and about really getting honest with yourself when you've reached your tipping point. We also talk about supporting others rather than advising them in their choices, and how to make a change in your own life from a place of desire, love, and passion, rather than from fear, scarcity, and impulsivity.
