Episode 14 - Meeting Teens Where They’re at (feat. Zach Gottlieb)
New Episode Today!!
Today I chatted with Zach, a teen from California who directs Talk with Zach, an organization aimed at destigmatizing and creating conversational change around mental health.
We chat about:
🧠 The loss of Zach’s grandfather, and how he was both explicitly and implicitly told to “man up” and get over his feelings
🧠 How this experience caused Zach to realize that mental health is not spoken about enough, and ultimately, to create Talk with Zach
🧠 The mission statement of Talk with Zach, and how Talk with Zach advocates for mental health related change
Zach is truly an trailblazing person, whose narrative is nothing other than inspiring. You can find his work @talkwithzach on Instagram and at https://talkwithzachofficial.com .
