Teen stress, emotional regulation, and mental health are deeply connected to how the brain works. When teens and college students are under pressure, the emotional brain can override logic, leading to overwhelm, impulsive reactions, and feeling out of control. This isn’t a willpower problem — it’s a stress response in the brain. In this episode, Leslie talks with psychologist Dr. Laurel Mellin, founder of Emotional Brain Training (EBT), about how stress affects the teen brain and why common advice like “try harder” or “just calm down” doesn’t help. We discuss: The emotional brain vs. thinking brain How stress impacts teen behavior, mood, and decision-making Why shame and self-criticism worsen stress and anxiety What emotional self-regulation really means Brain-based stress management tools teens and college students can use to calm the nervous system This episode offers a science-backed approach to teen mental health, helping teens and parents better understand stress, build emotional regulation skills, and respond with compassion instead of blame.

On the outside, some teens can look like they “have it all together” but on the inside, they're carrying something much heavier behind the scenes: hidden depression. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Margaret Rutherford—clinical psychologist and author of Perfectly Hidden Depression—breaks down why some teens suppress emotions, strive to seem perfect, and quietly carry stress, pressure, or loneliness without telling anyone. This is an important listen for any teen who feels overwhelmed by trying to “be perfect,” uphold family expectations, manage cultural  or social media pressures  -- and for any parent trying to understand what might be going on beneath the surface.  You'll learn how hidden depression develops, why perfectionism fuels emotional numbness, and how teens can begin opening up even when it feels impossible or “too risky.”  For more on Dr. Rutherford and her work: drmargaretrutherford.com   Like this episode?
