What happens when we let teens speak for themselves? In this candid and eye-opening episode, Soren and Chris hand the mic to two remarkable young adults—Sophie and Bennet—both just one year out of high school and still close enough to remember the whirlwind of academic pressure, social expectations, and performance demands that come with being a teen today. As high-performing students themselves, Sophie and Bennet offer an unfiltered, deeply insightful look into the mental and emotional toll that achievement culture can take on teens. Together, they reflect on their high school experiences with the kind of clarity that only time and distance can provide. Tune in to hear how they navigated pressure, what they wish the adults in their lives had known, and what they hope parents and educators will take away to better support the teens they love. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand what it really feels like to grow up in a performance-driven world—and how to show up differently for the teens who are living it now.

Tune in and be inspired to show up, speak out, and stay grounded.
