Teens today are navigating more pressures than ever - from school and social anxiety to growing up in a pandemic. What happens when you give them space to lead, create, and belong? In this episode, Theresa sits down with Eden, a recent graduate of the Charlotte-based nonprofit Playing for Others (PFO). Eden shares how this teen leadership program changed her life through community service, the arts, and inclusion. She opens up about finding friendship, identity, and purpose - even during the isolation of COVID - and how she plans to carry the “PFO magic” into college and beyond.
