In this episode, Kristin and Laura take a psychological deep dive into Netflix’s Adolescence, a gripping series that explores how one teenage boy ends up committing an unthinkable act. But instead of focusing on who did it, the show—and this conversation—asks why.
Together, we explore:
• What incel culture is and how boys are drawn into it
• The role of social media, masculinity myths, and loneliness
• How families and schools can better support emotional growth
• Why girls' safety is still treated as secondary
• The emotional toll of being unheard—for everyone
This episode is about more than one story. It’s about the cultural conditions we’ve created—and the conversations we still need to have.
