The Chronicles Of The Teenage Brain

It has been far too long since I have last recorded a podcast episode. Over these past couple of months, I have done a lot of reflection, not only this podcast, but my journey within recovery and growth. I learned that it’s okay to deal with burn out in a lack of motivation. I also learned that it’s normal and even healthy to take a break from doing the things you love and for me that was recording weekly podcast episodes. Sometimes recharging your battery may take longer than you think but making your mental health a priority is the most important thing you can do. I’ve missed you all so much and I hope you enjoy this episode. Instagram: @chroniclesoftheteenagebrain & @gracescottow.20

You might be trying to figure out what I mean in this weeks episode caption? Today on the podcast I talk about what it’s like to be a teenager who is struggling finding what makes them happy. There is so much pressure from the media and society to be the perfect “teenager”. From someone who is sporty, to popular and attends parties, there’s so much pressure on us to be perfect all the time and it is also said that our teenage years are the “best years of our lives”, and that we “shouldn’t waste a single moment”, well, I’m here to tell you that that isn’t true. We are all unique/different, and find happiness in our own ways. Just because I like to spend my Friday nights drinking warm tea and reading a book instead of partying, doesn’t mean im any less of a teenager!

Welcome back to The Chronicles of The Teenage Brain, where today Grace covers the importance of seeking extra help if needed in this episode! Mental health issues is a global struggle that many face.

As a teenager most have heard to “keep their opinions to themselves” and “you are too young to care about politics”, etc. Today on The Chronicles of The Teenage Brain, Graces dives into something other than mental health that she is passionate about which is feminism and standing up for women, human rights and equality. Learning how to speak up for the things you believe in is so important and something that takes time and courage to gain the strength to do. Feminism and the fight for equality, for all, can actually impact mental health more than many people realize. Listen now and remember you are not alone if you are someone who struggles with mental health or at times feels alone in the fight for equality (this may not be the 1950’s anymore but injustice still exists today).
