Today, Andrew welcomes developmental psychologist Sarah McMillan to discuss “mattering”. Don’t worry, this isn’t some fancy quantum mechanics term - it’s actually a simple concept that has been around for centuries: ‘Mattering is about how we treat ourselves and how we treat each other.’  This may seem like common sense for most of us but as research is showing, young people today are more isolated than ever and their lack of communal interaction is deeply affecting their sense of worth, value, and identity - essentially the idea that they “matter”. This is a profoundly eye-opening conversation and we recommend bookmarking for future replays.
