The unfiltered wisdom of teens takes center stage in this refreshingly honest conversation about youth mental health. When our teenage guests Kinsley and Faith join the podcast, they waste no time delivering hard truths about what young people actually need from the adults in their lives.
"Maybe not hound them so much about a couple of things on the floor of their room," Kinsley suggests when asked what adults can do better. This simple yet profound insight sets the tone for a discussion that peels back the layers of teen-adult communication barriers. Throughout the episode, our young guests highlight the disconnect between what adults think helps and what teens genuinely need: space when appropriate, genuine listening (not the "uh-huh" kind while scrolling on phones), and the security of knowing someone will respond immediately - even to texts sent at 12:50 AM.
The conversation introduces the powerful concept of an "emotional toolbox" - resources teens can access during difficult moments. From creative outlets like Kinsley's remarkable artistic talents to having a designated trusted adult, these tools provide crucial support systems. Victoria shares the touching practice of maintaining an "invisible string" with Kinsley, where intuitive understanding sometimes means simply showing up without being asked and sitting together during tough moments. This level of attunement creates the safety net teens need to navigate emotional challenges.
Our guests offer practical strategies any teen can implement: finding calming creative activities, playing games that redirect anxious thoughts, writing letters to yourself during difficult times, and remembering that hard moments don't last forever. Parents and caregivers will find invaluable insights into building trust with the teens in their lives, while young listeners will discover they're not alone in their experiences and that asking for help isn't weakness - it's wisdom.

Okay, fine, kinsley.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Maybe to give them some space if it's needed.
Speaker 2 (06:44):

And everybody thinks theythrough.
Obviously yeah.
So what can you do?

going up on the wall becauseamazing, she's amazing her
drawings are amazing.
She tried to teach me how todraw a rose and granted, it kind
of looks like a plate of wetnoodle spaghetti like in a
blender and mix up onto a plate.
Because it didn't even looklike a rose, it wasn't that bad.
It wasn't that bad.
I can't draw a stick figure, Ican't, but her drawings are
(07:49):

Well, that chalice is on there.
They're peeling off From what?
From working.
I'm a hardworking man.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That's why Sunshine is not.
Sunshine plays video games andtakes naps.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
While Victoria works very hard.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Okay, so I do take a nap and play video games.
Speaker 2 (08:51):

So what else can adults do tobetter help teens and tweens
when they are going throughdifferent things?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
what bugging us?
It's not.
It's not helping us.
Yeah, maybe, if it's like youkeep asking us to empty the
dishwasher, we're just like giveus a minute, but you keep going
and keep going, and keep going,and she's like ah, I asked her
earlier what she thinks is agood allowance, and I was so
impressed with her answer.
(09:28):
What did you say?
Okay, if you're doing it weeklyor monthly, monthly would I'd
say $20 a month and maybe fiveor 10, but I'd say five a week.
Wait a minute, wait a minute,wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I'm old school.
I know you do like 50 cents aminute.
Wait a minute, I'm old school.
I know you do like 50 cents aday.
You want me to pay you so thatI can take care of you every day
, provide a roof over your head,clothes on your back, food on
the table, and I'm paying you todo chores in the house.
(10:00):
Right, you want to come to myhouse and do chores after I feed
you?
Speaker 4 (10:07):

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Oh yeah, she covered it up.
Okay, then I have a question.
Okay, when you go to work andyou work which is not a lot, and
you work and you earn yourmoney and you go out to eat but
(10:39):
work, what would happen if youjust worked for free?
You wouldn't have money to goout to eat.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Same thing with choice.
Oh, she's got a very validemployee.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
What I didn't even understand, that it's child
labor law.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yep.
What else is she going to learnthe value of money if you don't
teach it to her at this age?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Okay, wait, my employer doesn't provide me with
a roof over my head, unless Igo to work.
I trade time and my energy formoney.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's what I do.
I trade time and my energy formoney to clean.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And do chores.
Oh, so you're going to clean myhouse?
Speaker 3 (11:26):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose.
