Episode 6 – Gen Z, Mental Health and Social Media Boundaries with Avonley Whitsitt
In this episode of A Light Forward Podcast, we sit down with Avonley Whitsitt, licensed therapist and creator behind The Gen Z Therapist. We explore the unique mental health challenges Gen Z is navigating—from anxiety and identity struggles to the pressure of always being online.
Avonley dives into how social media deeply impacts Gen Z’s sense of self, relationships, and emotional well-being, and offers tools to set boundaries, manage screen time, and develop healthier habits.
We also discuss how Gen Z is redefining mental health conversations and breaking generational cycles in powerful ways.
Whether you're Gen Z yourself or simply want to better understand what this generation is facing, this episode is full of meaningful takeaways.
