Think raising teens is tough? Try doing it in a world where achievement pressure is as relentless as your kid’s TikTok scrolling. In this episode, we’re joined by Jennifer Wallace, an award-winning journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic -- and What We Can Do About It.
