CONTENT WARNING: Mental Health.

Feeling lost is something many, if not all young people face. And this disconnect can impact our mental health. In today's episode we discuss how purpose is related to mental health and why so many young people are struggling with feeling lost.

We also interviewed Jake, a youth mental health advocate and one of our new team members at Purposeful. We hear about Jake's journey through high school and how he discovered his authentic self.
