today’s 1.2 billion youth face pressures no generation has known — academic stress, family expectations, digital-age distortions, and an uncertain economic future - all while navigating generational blind spots that leave their struggles misunderstood or unseen. in this episode, we’re joined by Tricia Tan, Founder of the mindline.sg Youth Fellowship, where together, we explored the questions that matter: why is there such a disconnect between how youth experience mental health challenges and how older generations perceive them? what practical steps can schools, families, and workplaces take to bridge the generational gap? this is more than a conversation about mental health; it’s about courage, change, and the possibility of a world where every young person feels safe to express, heal, and thrive. listen on to make the world a better place.
