Teens want you to understand them, their experiences, and the roller coaster ride of adolescence.  Their journey is one of separating from parents and finding themselves. Experiences and connections with peers are critical and serve as the foundation for self-discovery and individualization. In 2020 their natural journey of exploration was thwarted. The COVID-19 pandemic struck them like a lightning bolt and rocked their world.  Fourteen-year-old, Mahsa Riar, a young, accomplished woman beyond her years, shares with us her experiences living through the pandemic and the impact it has had on her generation.  Teen’s well-being is dependent on adults listening, understanding, accepting, and loving them. Tune in today.
