Description

In this episode, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Jessica Rabon and I discuss the impacts of social media and culture on the increasing mental health challenges faced by millennials and Gen Z. Dr. Rabon highlights the pressure and expectations placed on young adults to pursue certain career paths and the impacts of student loan debt on our lives. We explore the causes of worsening mental health, including financial stress, culture, and the difficulty of finding relaxation in a constantly connected world. She emphasizes the importance of leaning into discomfort and being fully present in order to find calm and joy and the importance of making small changes to improve mental health.  We also highlight the differences between introversion and extroversion and the need for setting boundaries in various aspects of life, including work and social media.  Lastly, Dr. Rabon asks me a compelling question: What impact does watching reality TV have on people's mental health? The answer might surprise you!

Are you going through life blind? This is Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson. On this show, we share knowledge and stories that build human connection while elevating stigmatized societal issues, including mental health, holistic wellness, culture, free speech, and more, all to ensure we show up in the world with our Eyes Wide Open. You may know Nick Thompson from his appearance on season two of Netflix’s hit reality show Love is Blind, but there’s a side of him you may not know: The Storyteller. Nick firmly believes that everyone has a story to tell, and is building a forum for people to share theirs openly and honestly. Nick doesn’t shy away from the hardball questions but facilitates a space where even people who disagree are comfortable sharing and learning from each other. Don't go through life blind.
