    Teenage Mental Health Crisis

    Teenage Mental Health Crisis

    Are Teenagers addicted to social media? A High School Teachers Shares His Thoughts What better person to discuss teenagers and their potential addiction to social media than a High School teacher! One thing I truly find shocking is the amount of time kids are spending on apps- some are regularly clocking 14 hour days!

Asking the Questions We All Want To

I love this show so much. Sharzad asks all the questions we want to of people living life off the beaten path—the ones we haven’t had the opportunity to ask, or the bravery if we did. Highly recommend, every conversation is a peek into walking in someone else’s shoes. I can’t wait for the next season!

WOW

Every episode has me completely hooked. Not My Circle gives such a positive spin on diversity and leaves me feeling empathetic and understanding of others’ life challenges and lifestyles. I’m intrigued and inspired by every episode and cannot wait for more!

Fascinating

All the people Sharzad is interviewing are also not in my circle but I find them so interesting and fascinating. There are so many cool people living their best lives. Everyone has a unique story and it’s so fun to hear about them.
