Episode 1: Understanding Emotions
Why do teenagers sometimes shut down when adults are trying to help? Why do adults often get it wrong, even with the best intentions? And what do young people really need from us when life feels overwhelming?
In our very first episode, Brad and Isla dive straight into one of the biggest challenges facing young people today: understanding emotions in a world where expectations seem higher than ever.
Drawing on Isla's own experiences, and the conversations she's had with friends, we explore how teenagers navigate pressure, uncertainty and the emotional demands of modern life. Isla shares honest, practical insights into what genuinely helps, what doesn't, and what adults could do differently.
Together we discuss the gap between generations, why listening often matters more than fixing, and how creating the right conversations can help young people build confidence, resilience and trust.
Whether you're a teenager, parent, teacher, coach or leader, this episode offers practical ideas and honest reflections that could change the way you approach conversations with the young people in your life.
