Listen, Love, And Learn: Bringing Generations Together With Mental Health Advocate And Gen-Z Expert John Schlimm

Division between generations is not a new issue, yet the disconnect between Gen-Z and older generations can lead to social alienation, interpersonal conflict, and even serious mental health issues. Some see Gen-Z as an overly anxious, stressed group with poor coping skills, a lack of interest in working hard, and destructive screen time overuse. Yet Gen-Zers have so much to offer, and their strengths are often not recognized by those around them. Can open communication be a key tool that helps bring us all together? Can we use our imperfections to foster open, honest interactions that nurture healthy growth? Join Dr. Carla and John Schlimm, a Harvard-trained educator, author, mental health awareness advocate, artist, and Gen-Z expert, for a delightful dive into the simple steps we can all take to improve our connection to ourselves and the wonderful generations around us. This podcast episode explores the power of communication, compromise, attunement, curiosity, play, and learning in boosting mental health, relationship quality, and intergenerational connection.
