In this episode of the Align podcast, Zak Williams talks about the current mental health epidemic, and its impact on future generations. We dive deep into his childhood and his relationship with his late father, actor Robin Williams. We also explore the long-term impact of digital overcrowding and its effects on mental wellbeing, as well as coping mechanisms for trauma. A lot can be solved by celebrating loved ones, tapping into our self-awareness, and being kinder to ourselves and others.
