    is the swag gap ruining your relationship?

    this episode we talk about what some might consider the biggest dealbreaker: the swag gap. we found that this dealbreaker is not as surface level as it seems, and just how much we can overthink ourselves out of intimacy. from the unspoken rules of modern dating that make communication harder than it needs to be like swag gaps, to performing nonchalance, to holding back parts of yourself to seem more desirable, showing up as yourself can feel risky. but after reading Hinge's D.A.T.E Report, we found we're all just trying to be loved for who we are, swag or not. check out the report here: https://hinge.co/newsroom/2025-GenZ-Report follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: www.branchout.app/join/grownkid overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

    are you niche, weird, or performative?

    in this episode, we break down the line between niche, weird, and performative - how wanting to be different can make you just like everyone else, what these identities actually look like in real life, and where we find ourselves on that spectrum. we also ask: what happens when the behaviors people call "performative" are things you genuinely enjoy, with or without an audience? ultimately, who decides what's authentic? other people, or you? follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

    do you have taste or just collecting aesthetics?

    taste feels like one of those things people claim to have, but few think about deeply. in this episode, we break down what taste actually is - where it comes from, how it evolves, and whether it’s something you’re born with or build through curiosity, exposure, or maybe just copying people you think are cool. we get into the difference between having a real point of view and just collecting pinterest aesthetics, why some people seem effortlessly cool, and how you can always spot when someone’s taste doesn't feel like their own. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

    is ai making you incompetent?

    whether it’s going to Chat for therapy sessions or using it to write a paragraph, AI has quietly, yet undeniably, seeped itself into our lives. in this episode, we go into the implications of AI, like the environmental harm it causes, and the class realities that make opting out a privilege. we talk about the pressure to use AI to keep up and the moral guilt that comes with it, but also how intentional AI use could give marginalized people access to the tools, guidance, and knowledge they never had. if both choices carry harm, is there an ethical way to participate or abstain?

    why am i always tired?

    it seems no matter how many cold brews we drink, how healthy we eat, or how much we sleep, we are always tired. is this our body simply keeping the score? are we subconsciously emotionally drained? or maybe we like to indulge in this feeling because it’s comfortable and familiar. so, instead of trying to film this episode when we had more energy, we decided to give into it and let you see us at a vulnerable state… aka when we’re tired. we become delirious, mute, and gay…? follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

    why is eating healthy considered over restrictive?

    if your friend brought a greek yogurt bowl to the movies, would you think they're smart or depriving themselves? this episode was inspired by a viral tiktok of a couple doing just that and the internet went crazy. in this episode we talk about diet trends, the line between self care and over restriction, and body image. now, it seems like food is a statement everyone is reading into. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

    friendship and community aren't the same thing

    the new buzzword everyone seems to be talking about is “community.” and though we keep hearing about the importance of community and how we have to create it, nobody really talks about what it actually is. is it friendship? is it a support system? a social circle? though the line of friendship and community blur, in this episode, we talk about how we differentiate the two, the steps we’ve taken to build both, and why everyone seems to be inconvenienced by them. Resources available: - Youth Mental Health Corps (youthmentalhealthcorps.org) - created by the Schultz Family Foundation and Pinterest - is a first-of-its-kind program that trains and places young adults as near-peer mental health navigators in schools and community organizations. These members expand access to care while building their own careers in the behavioral health field. Schools where they serve have seen fewer behavioral incidents, better attendance, and more students reaching out for support. The Youth Mental Health Corps is now in 11 states and growing.
