As Season 1 of Headstraight wraps up, this recap pulls together everything we’ve explored—messy feelings, big decisions, difficult relationships, and the honest work of figuring yourself out.

Whether you’ve just joined or listened from the start, here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why self-worth isn’t about perfection—and how to challenge the “not good enough” voice
• How your teenage brain affects emotions like anger, fear, and sadness
• What real support looks like—and how to set boundaries with people who drain you
• How to spot your emotional triggers and make better choices (even under pressure)
• Why needing attention is normal—and how to ask for connection without guilt
• The truth about hurting people you care about—and how to repair the damage

We don’t promise overnight change. But we do believe in progress through honesty, reflection, and small, consistent steps.

Listen now for a full-circle reflection on everything you’ve learned—and what it means to own your growth, one decision at a time.
