I absolutely love the message here. An entire generation (the plugged in one) is suffering with far more mental health issues than we did (the play outside generation).
It's sad. One thing I'd like to touch on with regards to eating properly to promote better mental health is that SO MANY families or single income parents simply can't afford to eat well. It's cheaper to buy 10 boxes of Kraft dinner than it is to buy a bag of fresh food. And it sucks. I was a single parent my son's whole life and it was always a financial and time-based struggle. I didn't have the money nor the time as a full-time working parent.
Absolutely Kristi!! The play outside generation was absolutely in better mental and physical because we moved around. I remember riding my bike so much my parents couldn’t find me have the time.
Also to your point on the financial/time restraints, we can always adjust our meals to work for us! This is why I was guided to talk about the Peach Power and the process of intentional cooking and consumption! Not everyone can afford organic this and that but everyone has the ability to set intentions on their meals for the body brain to process it in the way that’s most beneficial. I’ve even done it with Taco Bell 😂 Intention is everything! Thank you so much for being here 💜🍑
Exactly Charlotte. It’s not food it’s filler. Just a slurried mush shaped into snack food to temporarily fill stomachs, spike blood sugar and clog arteries. Very sad but we can fight the poison with intention. “They” are already using intentions on us anyway. Thank you for being here 💜🍑
In addition to being a Trauma therapist, I am a mom of adult children, And a 14 year old daughter. I also raise my 8yr old nephew.
My daughter has verbalized her disenchantment with this phenomenon you refer to.
While so many variables factor in to the propensity for a mental health struggle, I agree with you a positive shift (& the desire for one) is far more likely to come when modeled genuinely from invested adults who value their own well-being, rather than a heavy hand, “do as I say” approach.
We are energetic beings above all else (energy creating matter & all that; non-verbal communication etc.)
So much of our behavior is governed through our ‘hardwiring for survival’ (largely a part of our Autonomic Nervous System).
“Neurons that fire together, wire together” is one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Rick Hanson, author of the Buddha Brain that speaks to Neuro-plasticity however (our capacity to form new pathways based upon our repeated salient social experiences).
We are social creatures that co-regulate.
Beyond all this & so very much more, I appreciate how your approach (that addresses self-care through nutrition) is huge bang for the buck!
Considering our gut’s health is so impactful to physical And Emotional well-being, it needs to be a part of any wholistic approach. It is Literally a second brain, producing neurotransmitters necessary for feeling good, bonding, meditating pain & so on.
Thanks for the mention among these other great Substackers!! Can’t wait to check them out.
Thank you Colleen! I agree the gut is so important, the entirety of the energetic body is important. Our consumption process is all regulated energetically first then metabolized into energy through the flesh. At least that's how Ive used food to heal. It's our intention that makes this shift work and ignites the physical mind-body healing. Im so glad someone like you is a trauma therapist and a mother (I wrote down your advice in my notebook btw). I feel like it's so important to address these issues from a nurturing perspective instead of the social media/screen world laced judgements of these kids lives. If we all do pour part we can really make these shifts happen. Well, thats my hope anyway!
Bam. What a beautiful piece you have written. I raised my kids, born 1999 and 2002, with real food, real love, real boundaries and no use of the crime and punishment paradigm of our broken society which only serves to create repeat offenders and a subclass of usually good people with low self esteem and a true vision of how silly and degrading the game board we're placed on is. Food was center, garden, lots of venison I got myself, using all the animal including tanning it's hide utilizing the brain, pate from the organs, broth from the bones and respect and apologies to the beautiful deer. My kids learned how to forage plants and mushrooms, wild berries, apples and other such treats. As I said I never punished my kids but treated them well. When disruptive rebellions occurred they were met with dismay. "You really want to have a bad night?" I would ask. "We're on the same team! If you go against your own team that means we're gonna' lose! I hate losing." Laughter would ensue, tranquility and fun reinstated. Deep talks and sharing of feelings were common. Feeling was encouraged as "he/she who knows it feels it Lord!" When times got heavy, my wife and I split when my son, the elder of our children, was six we went through it together. We dealt with our emotions and sadness and, with patience, things got way better, in a real way. I told my son, my daughter was young and was jolly through everything no matter what, that things would get better, that none of this was his. In time that happened. Life got a lot better and when I met my current wife the goodness multiplied a hundred fold, I had my family back and they got a bonus mom who provided many things their mother couldn't. My son told me at one point that I was right, that things did get better, way better. In saying all of this I want to note that my kids didn't hit this dark shit like many of their peers did. Sure they had their moments, that's what life's about, but they didn't get into the whole sad is cool garbage. They are incredibly productive, happy people living life with light in their eyes. I had a rougher time of it in my early years as I did not get what they did and I made sure they wouldn't have to take the long path to dignity that I had to. So far so good. I believe the music we are given is carefully selected by those who farm and tend us. It's as if we follow their lead through what we are fed on screen and through the musicians who are promoted. It's a herding technique driving us into corrals we are starting to realize are real. Conspiracy? Nah. It's real. I see it all the way back through my generation and those before us. We can see it in other societies that have succumbed to madness, the separation, the destruction of family and the pushing of madness on to mainly good souls who are taken advantage of. I love the light you bring to this, love your light in general, your words ring true, your power and self love felt. For me most of this is a choice between real and fake. Psychedelics really showed me this in my youth, and later, as I wandered through the beautiful mountains of southern California marveling at creation. Real and fake. These same entities pushing these sullen artists are also pushing artificial intelligence, artificial food, artificial love, the list goes on. Thanks for pushing back in beautiful ways, for punching back in a good way. A beautiful friend of mine who chose a somewhat dark, crazy path through this life died last year. He knew me well, he was a cosmic brother. My ex-wife is a psychic with crazy skills. She reached out to him in a session for me. She said his energy was huge!!! He was a powerful being. She asked him what he wanted to tell me and my boy Matty said, "Stick it to the man!" I love how you stick it to the man. I'm over here doing my part. Much love Sister. Thank you.
PS- During a long part of the kid's early years the only video we had was Dumb and Dumber. LOL. They were raised on that. Ha. We still quote it constantly. Cheers!
Thank you so much for being here and thank you for the wonderful words! What a wonderful father you are for your children. Sad to say you are the exception. A ton of Gen Z teens are going through this sad is cool thing. A girl I was working with told me that the kids at her school were attempting suicide to Lana Del Rays music. It was like a ‘challenge’ or something. She had her own struggles but at least she saw through the fuckery of it all. It made me fucking irate to hear about these ‘let’s see how close we can get to death’ games. The system pumps out these artists and their specific lyrics and tones to control. You can’t control a loving soul but you can control a fearful/sad one and with it their mind. I just hope more adults can get out of their own heads and start living by example. At least that’s what I hope to do 🤓💜🍑
P.S. pretty sure Dumb and Dumber is the most watched movie of my life 🤣 “Pullover! No it’s a cardigan but thanks for noticing!”
So you're saying there's a chance?? lol. Wow. First hand accounts of that shit are heavy. Ya, big DEPOP push right now in so many ways. You are so correct about the ability to control the fearful and sad. It's a constant right now, drives me crazy but then I remember I just come to this mad theater for a little while, I leave my ripples and I am proud of mine, mostly. I think this theater will always be a place of duality, it's meant to be, just a physical/spiritual tryst. I plan to leave with my dignity in tact. I feel like we all signed up to come here and fulfill contracts. I'm glad you came. Bright lights are hard to extinguish and even when extinguishment comes we pop back up like everything else. No one to blame but ourselves for signing up. I remember it often that I did and it puts everything back in perspective. Thank you for your kind words. Thanks for the light you bring.
Can’t stop won’t stop! Thank you for your openness and conscious understanding. I’ve been studying mankind (not humanity- it’s different) since I can remember. Also felt like I was in a maze. I definitely came here to fuck shit up and make sense of a world that doesn’t 😅 I feel insane sometimes but I prefer that to feeling like a drone-zombie person who lives in an artificial reality, especially when it comes to food. There’s so much more to come, I’m just getting started 🤓💜🍑🪄
There is so much here. I love the message of being supportive by advocating a self-loving identity. Thank you for including me in this! Much gratitude!
Your answer to Colleen sums it up "....it's so important to address these issues from a nurturing perspective instead of the social media/screen world laced judgements of these kids lives. If we all do our part we can really make these shifts happen. Well, thats my hope anyway!"
Being unconditionally kind instead of judgmental changes everything ✨
Hi Janet! Yes!! Kindness and empathy is game changing. I wanted to touch on how influential the music industry has been in shaping generational dynamics and how it raises us as teenagers. Not everyone is into music but it seems to have its say in things in the macro sense. We all have the ability to get swept up, I just can’t stand watching these kids get swept down. I so appreciate you being here 💜🍑
You have inspired me, Peach! Even though the despair of this generation is overwhelming, I can focus on one thing: imbuing the food I prepare for myself and my family with the intentional message “You are valuable. You are loved.” Funnily enough I have my own old, small stories around that which I need to work through, but it’s a solid first step, and health begets health. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you Faith! I can’t tell you how much it means to hear this. 💜💜💜 This is absolutely a solid first step! The more you do it the more powerful it gets. Keep me updated pretty please 🙏🏽 💜🍑
Thank you for this timeous article. I've watched my own offspring getting caught up in the cool culture of their era and although they're wising up to what's real and meaningful, it's been touch and go at times, which has filled me with trepidation to see how tenuous our well intentioned guidance of them as parents has become, and how much sway this misdirected world has over our children. In this era of internet and instant communication the opportunities for young people to be waylaid by the whimsical has mushroomed beyond anything I had to contend with at their age. Furthermore, the sexualisation of children in the media has reached alarming degrees of degeneracy, making their task of growing up with a sense of proportionate self-worth ever more perilous. For many of these kids their lives are a disaster of one description or another waiting to happen. Its sad to witness and imperatively now more than ever it is high time for every right minded adult to step up and set this world straight, so that the next generation do not suffer the ills that this world would otherwise have set for them.
“Our problems were because of the boomers’ choices, and we spoke on it. We shouted and screamed about it.”
I am a boomer, and we blamed the great generation, the silent generation and the G.I. generation on our problems. But honestly? Those problems were our own.
Great point! Each generation blames the last. Seems to be how it goes and yes we’ve definitely made our own problems trying to make machines out of everything and everyone. Shit keeps rolling downhill but we can absolutely redirect it! 💜🍑
I think one of the worst things the powers to be have done is put a wedge between the generations. So we never relate to each other. So much generation bigotry exists, especially during challenging times like today. I have no idea what problems you have encountered and you have no idea the problems I encountered. And we don’t get to experience the joy we all had. For instance, I can’t tell you how much fun it was to cruise main streets with about 200 other teenagers, and to go to drive-in theaters. And the dawn of rock ‘n’ roll with Elvis and the Beatles. You will never get to experience that firsthand. I will never get to experience all the wonderful things the kids in the 90s grew up enjoying in their lives. Some cultures like the Mexican culture is so deep their traditions are cross generational. I think that’s beautiful.
My mothers generation was right on the cusp of the great generation and the silent generation. She grew up in the great depression where food was scarce because people had no money. Lots flour based foods like dumplings, potatoes, hobo stew etc. Junk food is what future generations called it. But we don’t know what it was like to starve like they did.
I’ve been doing deep dives into the old world. The amazing architecture was supposedly built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. When in photos people are depicted riding around on horses and buggies with no way to build these amazing structures. It was also where world fairs were a regular events and new American food was introduced. Like french fries, macaroni and cheese, hot dogs etc. All those unhealthy box meals we find in the grocery stores were born at those fairs. The first of Corporate food. The great generation was sold convenience. Because of that history, I can’t criticize any generation for their choices.
These are all great points Charlotte. We collectively have experienced so much of the same, just on different levels. Different angles of reality experienced through our own filters. I wrote a piece called “Everyone is always right” and it touches on exactly what you just mentioned. Each generation had its power and lack, advances and mistakes, corruption and compassion, all experienced from different angels…all correct and fucked up in their own way. Thank you for bringing this up. It’s important we make these distinctions and connect the dots! Always happy to see you here and connect with you 💜🍑✨
Not sure whether eating healthy food alone does the trick, but it's definitely a vital ~ several times daily ~ piece in the puzzle, and a VERY GOOD START.
I fully agree that we ~ the elders and older generations ~ have a responsibility towards our young ones to be good role models.
Learning to embrace our own (emotional) experience is another vital part ~ which is precisely why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Thank you for being here Veronika! Yes eating energetically healthy and eating healthy food are 2 different things. And absolutely our emotions have a lot to do with how we process the energetics from our meals. Thank you for the work you do as well! It’s like we’re all weaving an energetic tapestry for a better world or something 💜🍑✨
I agree. That's one of the things I love about substack! That we have the opportunity to connect, and realise we are not alone ~ doing this work totally on our own (as it might seem...)
We are actually in the process of calling in the Symbiocene (the new era and more beautiful world we know is possible), each doing our part in the weaving of this tapestry. I love it! My heart opens and expands with joy witnessing these connections.
Of course. I see reality energetically first then physically. My gift and my curse I guess. This platform is so incredible in the ways it allows so many of us to connect without the insane fuckery of bots and algorithmic advertisements to block our alignments. So grateful for all of us connecting through the Symbiocene! I appreciate you being here 💜🍑

You're welcome. I appreciate so much of what you touched on in this post and looking forward to more.
This is where a $.99 stores etc. shelves are in lined with this kind of boxed non-food. Sad. 😢
Exactly Charlotte. It’s not food it’s filler. Just a slurried mush shaped into snack food to temporarily fill stomachs, spike blood sugar and clog arteries. Very sad but we can fight the poison with intention. “They” are already using intentions on us anyway. Thank you for being here 💜🍑
