About this listen

Is mental health determined by our genes,our upbringing, or a mix of both?
In this episode, we explore the longstanding nature versus nurture debate through a grounded, practical lens.
We cover:
- Why it’s never just nature or nurture
- Why every person’s experience requires a case-by-case assessment
- The complexity and multifaceted nature of mental health
- Why settling at “50/50” doesn’t reflect reality
- How contributing factors vary from individual to individual
- Why this debate continues after decades of discussion
- Why no single, solid answer exists — and why that’s okay
This episode isn’t about choosing sides.
It’s about understanding the nuance behind one of the most foundational — and misunderstood — questions in mental health.
Listen in if you want a clear, honest exploration of a topic that affects all of us.
