She’s Only 18... But What She Says About Mental Health Will Leave You Speechless

This week, the Therapists Unhinged crew gets real with a powerful new voice: 18-year-old Aniah, recent graduate, elite all-star cheerleader, and daughter of co-host Nella.

In this raw and emotional conversation, Aniah opens up about:

  • How cheerleading saved her mental health
  • The pressure teens feel from social media and parents
  • Her honest take on therapy, trauma, and what actually helps
  • Losing a friend to suicide, and the importance of support at home
  • Becoming a coach at 18 and what it taught her about leadership

With Nella, TJ, and Dr. Robin holding space and sharing laughs, this is one of our most important episodes yet. If you’re a parent, teacher, coach, or just want to understand Gen Z better, this one is a must-listen.
