Gen Z Whys

And that's it, guys. Season 1 has come to an end! It was a mix of a lot of topics, questions & answers and emotions. This is a special grand finale, where we go over a resume of every single one of the last 9 episodes in a very direct way! Can't wait to see you inside 🥰

Mental health awareness, anxiety, depression... although we are being able to break the taboo surrounding mental health, there are still a lot of things that are not talked about, and even normalized? Being stressed is normal, having anxiety is normal... but what about when it reaches unbearable levels and we need to go to therapy? Then it's not validated anymore. With all of this said and done, the question is WHY? Why do we struggle so much with our mental health? Press play, let's find out!

We are back with another brand new episode, where you will hear us discuss the complexity of showing emotions in today’s society. Why are we so afraid of emotions? Is it because it’s vulnerable and therefore weak, or is it just a defensive mechanism? Give it a go and find a new perspective on the topic in this episode.

In this episode, we have a special guest - our best friend Beatriz. Beatriz is a clear example of the expression "we are what we eat". She was born and raised in Macau and is coming today to bring us a new perspective into putting the right thing in our plate. In this episode, we are going to be answering the issue of the #1 XXI century addiction - FOOD - why we eat when we are sad and stressed, and how to adopt better eating habits and be... happier!

What is stopping people nowadays from reaching their full potential? Are experiences the new path to happiness? Why can't we leave our comfort zone? Whether it is jumping from a plane, travelling abroad or simply meeting someone new, we all have different weak points we could simply overcome by stepping away from our comfort zone. In the next 20 minutes, let's dig into our personal experiences and tips with being scared of the unknown and seeking discomfort!

Catcalling, wage gap, glass ceiling problem. Have you guessed what we're talking about? Gender should be understood as a social, not physiological, construction: Femininity and masculinity, the terms that denote one’s gender, refer to a complex set of characteristics and behaviours prescribed for particular sex by society and learned through the socialisation process. But... Why do (some) people say society was constructed for men? Let's go back to history & let's find out :)

Are you constantly refreshing your social media to get a look into what people are doing? Do you need to regularly DM and text people when you are doing things on your own? If so this is the episode for you! During the next 20 minutes, we will talk about why does the generation that has the power to connect people with just one touch, feels more alone than ever. Let’s break this cycle!

If you spend 4 hours on your morning routine or just spend a considerable amount of time scrolling through Instagram to check how others are being productive during the day... this episode is for you. In this conversation, we talk about bad productivity habits, the rat race and how this toxic cycle begins. Join us on this eye-opening discussion!

Welcome to episode 2 where we will be discussing a lot of sensitive topics. We’ll touch on some contents like minorities, movements and labels. This all leads to a big fat question of “why we feel the need to belong to some group?”. Enjoy this rather controversial podcast that may give you a new point of view to reflect upon!

People say that your 20's are the time to make mistakes. So why don't we do it? Is it because we are naturally risk-averse or is it because we are afraid of being rejected? During this episode, you can hear two gen z debating why they fear being told "no" and a few good pointers to you in your life.
