Lena: Hey everyone, welcome back to BeFreed! I'm Lena, and I have to say, today's conversation has me genuinely excited because we're diving into something that really hits home for so many of us.
Eli: And I'm Eli! You know, Lena, when I first saw this question from Thomas d'Ansembourg about whether our way of being adults actually makes sense or feels appealing to young people, I thought-wow, that's such a profound question that deserves some real unpacking.
