We’re taking it back to one of the most powerful episodes we’ve ever recorded — a conversation that left many of our listeners speechless, and others inspired to take immediate action in their homes and communities. 🎧

In this rewind episode, Dr. Uchenna Umeh — also known as Dr. Lulu — brings her signature energy, truth-telling, and years of pediatric expertise to the mic in a raw and honest dialogue about the mental health crisis facing today’s youth.

As a physician, speaker, and advocate for young people, Dr. Umeh doesn’t sugarcoat the facts. She reveals why so many children and teens are silently struggling, the hidden signs parents often miss, and how society's fast pace and pressure-packed culture are contributing to emotional burnout in kids as young as 8 years old.

From real-life stories to actionable advice, this conversation is more than just a talk — it’s a wake-up call. Whether you're a parent, educator, coach, or someone who simply cares about the future of our youth, this episode will leave you thinking differently and acting more intentionally.

🔥 What you'll learn in this episode:

  • The red flags of emotional distress in children

  • Why “tough love” doesn’t always work

  • How to create safe spaces for kids to open up

  • The surprising link between academic pressure and anxiety

  • What every adult can do TODAY to be part of the solution

🎙️ We originally dropped this episode months ago, but the feedback was overwhelming — so we had to bring it back. If you missed it the first time, here’s your second chance to catch a life-changing conversation.
