Jennifer is a resilience expert and founder of Bounce Back Generation and Tyler is a professional coach. We explore the themes of political disillusionment, the impact of consumer culture, and the psychological effects of instant gratification. We discuss the importance of acceptance and finding power in the present moment, while also addressing the challenges of navigating the ups and downs of life. Our conversation delves into the illusion of social media perfection and the need for authenticity in a world driven by capitalism. Ultimately, we emphasize the importance of awareness in combating exploitation and fostering ethical consumerism.
