Let's Talk About Self-Harm - A Gen Z Story
Ayush and I had a fascinating conversation about all things Gen Z. We looked at the Generation born between
1997 and 2012 and asked what makes them so different from any other generation we’ve ever experienced.
Ayush began by breaking their world down into four
separate parts – the workforce, society, technology and romance.
It was such an interesting conversation because, as the mother of two Gen Z daughters myself, I often hear people refer to this generation as snowflakes or lazy or even entitled. But what if we could take the time and truly try to understand why they’re so different and how we can help support them better, but also to discover what a gift they are to the world.
Enjoy the episode and let me know what you think. 😊
