Lawrence C Harris joins the MindShift Power Podcast to share the four confessions he regularly hears from his peers: "I feel like I can't talk to anyone without being judged," "I don't even know what's wrong with me," "I pretend everything's okay, but I know it's not," and "I love him too much to leave, even when he cheats." With wisdom that belies his age, Lawrence offers practical solutions for young people struggling with these challenges. From the power of journaling as a judgment-free space to explore one's thoughts, to the healing perspective that comes from simply stepping outside, his insights provide actionable pathways toward better mental health. Lawrence's most profound message may be his perspective on authentic self-discovery—rejecting the notion of "finding yourself" in favor of "uncovering" who you already are beneath layers of societal expectations. The conversation challenges adults to recognize that today's youth are navigating a world fundamentally different from the one we knew. Social media creates unprecedented pressure to conform to narrow definitions of success and happiness. Lawrence urges young people to question these expectations and find the courage to step outside their comfort zones—to leave the "prison cell" of conformity even when those around them remain trapped within it. Whether you're a teenager struggling to understand yourself, a parent trying to connect with your child, or an educator looking to better support your students, this episode offers rare insight into the minds of today's youth. Learn more about Lawrence or follow him below.<a href='https://www.lawrencecharris.com/'>https://www.lawrencecharris.com/</a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/lawrencec.empowers/#'>https://www.instagram.com/lawrencec.empowers</a><a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@lawrencecempowers?_t=ZP-8wBtqPPB6A3&_r=1'>https://www.tiktok.com/@lawrencecempowers</a> <a rel="payment" href="https://www.fatimabey.com/podcast-support">Support the show</a>Every episode brings global perspectives and leadership insights.
