This season has been about spotting the patterns that hold you back and building the tools to push through. From self doubt, self-sabotage, and losing motivation, to habits, setbacks, and redefining success — we’ve tackled the everyday struggles of teens and young adults and how they affect your emotional well-being.

In this recap, hosted by Mark Taylor, we’ll pull together the key lessons. You’ll hear how you've used self control and self esteem to stay steady, how you made better choices when fear took over, and why real, grounded advice for teens made all the difference in protecting your teen mental health.

This episode is about looking back at your growth, recognising the mental challenges you’ve worked through, and how you found the confidence to keep overcoming fear as you moved forward.
