Previous Topic: "Disentangling from the Jones'"
This past Summer 2024 series focused on exploring the pressures we face on a daily basis in order to identify what we really think as individuals so we could reclaim our values, our time, and our authority in making our own decisions. We broke down powerful influences such as social media, over-scheduling, screen addiction, misbehaving grown-ups, and the risk of complacency in the safety of our bubble.
