The data is inconclusive. Conflicting studies will paint very different stories about the relationship between technology and the mental health of young people. This episode hopes to bring some clarity to the situation.

In this episode, we welcome Larissa May, founder of Half the Story, a global not-for-profit, whose mission is to empower youth to engage in technology with intention. Time, Forbes, Good Morning America and CNN have all acclaimed her powerful work and influence as a digital wellness activist.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Her journey to founding Half The Story
  • The important difference between connections and connecting
  • Relativity and our relationship with technology
  • The dangers of commercializing mental health
