164. Teenager Therapy's Gael Aitor on Gen Z Mental Health Resources, Starting a Podcast, and How to Feel Less Alone


Listen Later

#164 Today's guest is Gael Aitor— the creator and co-host of Teenager Therapy—the biggest teen mental health podcast in the world. Teenager Therapy has been featured in the New York Times, Teen Vogue, and has had guests like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He is also the co-founder of Astro Studios, a podcast studio aiming to help Gen Z feel less alone. We discuss what made him want to start Teenager Therapy and why this podcast was so unique, the pressures and responsibilities of being so vulnerable on a podcast with a such large audience, the process of choosing guests, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, to be on Teenager Therapy, common themes that teenagers are struggling with today and advice he most frequently gives on those topics, how his mental health has evolved from his teenage years until now, what’s next for him after wrapping Teenager Therapy, and his advice for teens who want to start their own podcasts.
