In this episode of Lean In With Lizzy, Lizzy sits down with educator, speaker, and belonging advocate Scharman Grimmer for a powerful conversation about parenting, mentorship, and healing the epidemic of loneliness in today’s rising generation.

Drawing from personal experiences and research-backed insights, Scharman shares why every child needs a “Trusted Five” network of adults and how these relationships shape resilience, confidence, and emotional health. Together, they explore how to recognize early signs of relational struggles, why cross-generational connection matters more than ever, and simple ways to create authentic belonging at home, at school, and in the community.

Whether you are raising kids, mentoring teens, or seeking deeper connection yourself, this episode offers actionable tools and timeless principles for building strong, faith-centered support systems.
