In this episode of Feelin’ @Live, we’re opening up about something deeply personal - why asking for help with your mental health can feel so difficult? We talk about the shame and taboos that still surround speaking up, especially for young people, and how our backgrounds, environments, and even access to resources shape the way we seek support. We also reflect on how we personally deal with mental health struggles and how comfortable we are when it comes to talking about emotions. From digital tools to rural health access and community support, we unpack the systems around us and where they fall short.

In the second episode the group discussed the importance of having a network and support system. It was discussed what loneliness means to them and how it is different from being alone. We discussed the differences and then shared the opinion on whether you can be happy when you’re alone. They have also discussed are they content with the support system they have and where do they go to gain community. To wrap up the episode, the group discussed what they wished people knew about them to understand them better.

Today, we’re discussing a topic that affects us all: the culture of productivity. We’ll be talking about time management, loneliness, stress, and anxiety, especially how these impact young people through their education, jobs, and social lives. We will focus on time management, stress, and anxiety; exploring how these factors shape our well-being. 
Joining us as special guest today is Mingaile, a psychologist which is leading an organisation that is collecting good practices from schools all over the world and is now working with Lithuanian education system to improve the quality of teaching and improve mental health of young people

In this episode of the Feelin’ Alive podcast, we’re talking about the culture of being productive with host, Miriam, and today’s guest, Marcus Tolstrup. How do young people navigate today’s pressure of productivity? There’s an increasing pressure on young people today to achieve and to be ambitious, perceiving all aspects of daily life for young people: being a good student, a productive worker, a present friend and so on. These themes are explored in the first episode of the Feelin’ Alive podcast, as we ask the question: What does it mean to take time for yourself? Shouldn’t all time be for you, or is time owned by others’ expectations?

Feeling overwhelmed by expectations? You're not alone. In this episode, hosts Ana and Cláudia sit down with Luiz and Bárbara to unpack the invisible weight young people carry today, the pressure to always be productive. From balancing school and social life and finding personal time, they explore how stress and anxiety shape modern youth culture. Tune in for both honest insights and laughter. 

In this podcast, three students from INSA Rouen Normandie, a public engineering school in Normandy, share their thoughts on the culture of productivity. They emphasize the lack of personal time in their daily lives and the importance of truly dedicating moments to themselves. While socializing with friends or engaging in activities is valuable, it doesn’t always provide the personal space needed to reflect or unwind, as these moments are often planned and scheduled.

To manage their workload and well-being, they suggest establishing a daily routine with set boundaries, such as a curfew for studying, to limit homework time and create space for self-care. They highlight that stress is an inherent part of adulthood, stemming from responsibilities, academic pressure, social expectations, and financial concerns. Their key advice is to strive for balance—acknowledging life's complexities while focusing on what needs to be done without becoming consumed by constant to-do lists.

In the first episode the group talked about time management, discussed if they have enough time for themselves and how much time they think is enough. They have covered differences between stress and anxiety and discussed what their source is of stress and anxiety. They have also talked about some strategies on how to cope with any of them.
