This episode was a special treat. I somehow managed to convince my 17-year old daughter to come on my podcast - and she did brilliantly!
I think you'll enjoy getting a peek inside her brain and heart as she eloquently and honestly shares a few of her recent experiences. This episode will give you a taste of what it's like to come of age and navigate life as a teenager in these roaring 20s. With cell phones, social media, a charged political climate, a pandemic, and a sometimes stressful home life, it's a very different experience than I knew growing up.
Some highlights:
- What Camryn learned at Girl's State that she'll take with her the rest of her life
- How the college application process makes you feel like you have to "shatter yourself on the floor" like piggy bank or "core yourself like a peach." She's an amazing poet and shared one of her poems about college admissions...
- What it was like starting high school during COVID
- How communication, connection and dating have changed with phones and social media
- How social media has exacerbated the polarizing politics of today
- Understanding that the other side isn't your enemy...learning to listen to people who think differently than you
- Adjusting our lens to see a new perspective
- Being patient, enjoying the messy middle, sticking with things and knowing when to pivot
- LIfe can be short, but life can be long, and it's never too late to chase those dreams! Life is about "both" "and"
Camryn is perhaps not a typical teenager, but I think she offers a unique glimpse into the experience of our kids today...
