About this listen
In this episode, Rashad Young dives into the misunderstood reality of today’s teens. We often label Gen Z as distracted or lazy, but what if their behavior is really a response to constant overstimulation, pressure, and emotional overload?
Rashad breaks down what he sees every day as a counselor: students navigating anxiety, digital noise, identity struggles, academic expectations, family dynamics, and the weight of always being “on.” Through real-world examples and a grounded mental-health lens, this episode challenges listeners to look deeper.
In this conversation we explore:
- Why “lazy” is often a misread signal for burnout
- The mental health effects of overstimulation
- How the digital divide and digital overload affect students
- What Gen Z actually needs from caring adults
- How educators and parents can build meaningful, supportive connections
This is an honest, reflective, and necessary dialogue for anyone working with or raising Gen Z youth.
