In this episode, youth advocate Lawrence Harris joins us for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to stand up for teens who often go unheard. With honesty and compassion, Lawrence talks about the barriers young people face — from unspoken trauma to systems that overlook their needs — and the role each of us can play in changing that reality.
He shares stories that highlight both the weight teens carry and the incredible strength they show when someone believes in them. This isn’t just a discussion about healing; it’s a call to action for adults, communities, and anyone who cares about the next generation. Lawrence reminds us that advocacy isn’t complicated — it starts with listening, showing up, and refusing to let young people struggle in silence.
This episode offers hope, perspective, and a deeper understanding of how we can help teens reclaim their voice and their future.
