I think, Brenda, I think you've stated it once: it's okay to not know, it's okay to not be okay becomes a very familiar motto, because as a young adult we have this pressure on us, regardless of when we've grown up, that the world wants us to be perfect.
Feeling overwhelmed by the rising anxiety and depression among young women today? In this episode of 'Hopestream', Brenda Zane chats with Greg Ostler, Clinical Director at Skyterra Young Adult Wellness Retreat, to shed light on this troubling trend. Greg explains how young women often grapple with their identity and role in the world, leading to behaviors like withdrawal, avoidance, and substance misuse. These issues can make it tough for them to learn essential life skills and healthy routines.
Greg introduces the concept of 'adultolescence', highlighting that turning 18 doesn't magically equip young adults with the skills they need for wellness and independence. He shares the five pillars of lifestyle habits that help young adults thrive and emphasizes the importance of environments that support learning and self-care. Greg also discusses why it's sometimes necessary to 'blow things up' and admit when you don't have all the answers.
Brenda and Greg dive into practical strategies for parents to support their daughters through these challenges. They stress the importance of communication, conflict resolution, and meeting young women where they are. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to help young women navigate the rocky path to adulthood.
