Adult ISH is a culture, advice and storytelling podcast produced entirely by folks who are almost adults.
Our brains and what we have to manage change a lot from high school to being an adult. And, our thoughts and emotions change a lot, too. This week, Nyge Turner talks with Stephanie Santos LCSW, who works with teenagers and young adults managing anxiety and depression through the pandemic. And, Jalen Black, our Adult ISH production assistant, joins Nyge with some personal questions about trying to adjust to college life with AJ Delony LCSW, a staff therapist at UChicago Student Wellness at the University of Chicago.
Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and distributed by PRX’s Radiotopia.
