Growing Up Is Changing: What Today's Young People Need to Know | Dr. Evelyn Ogendo – Part 1

Every year, thousands of Kenyan teenagers walk into a new school, a new dormitory, a new stage of life and nobody sits them down to explain what's actually happening to them. In Part 1 of this conversation, counselling psychologist and author Dr. Evelyn Nyoteyo Ogendo joins Frank Otieno to unpack why "mismanaged adolescence" sits underneath so much of what we see in young people today ; identity crises, risky behaviour, addiction and decisions that seem to come out of nowhere. We talk about: Why transition skills matter as much as grades What's happening inside a teenager's body and mind that no one explains to them How self-pity, comparison, and social media are shaping how kids see themselves Emotional intelligence -mastering triggers and shifting between emotions without causing damage Why Dr. Evelyn wrote a full library of life-skills books for young people and their parents 🎙️ Frankly Speaking — Beyond the success.
