Are we expressing more than we’re actually coping? 

Kate Mason poses three big, bold questions to five insightful guests—Cat, Cassie, Jack, Maryann, and Tracy. 

Together, they explore what today’s kids are most missing: is it freedom, discipline, or connection? 

They unpack whether our personality or our experiences shape us more deeply, and whether the current culture of emotional openness is fostering resilience or just performance. 

With perspectives from teachers, parents, and leaders, this episode invites listeners to rethink the way they parent, teach, connect, and even scroll. 

It’s honest, nuanced, and might just shift the way you see the emotional lives of both kids and adults.
