Summary

Tracy Hargen shares the story of the night her son Will came to her during his junior year of high school to say he'd been struggling with depression for over a year—and she had no idea. She reflects on what teenage depression actually looks like, how different it can be from what parents expect, and the critical moment when her son asked for help. It's about creating space for the hardest conversations, learning to listen for what isn't being said, and the bravery it takes to ask: "Mom, can we talk?". Content note: This episode includes discussions of suicide and mental health struggles. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In the US, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline 24/7. David Begnaud of CBS Mornings will be airing a piece about Tracy, her son Will and the teacher who was so helpful to them on Monday, January 26th, 2026 in the 8am hour as a part of the "Beg-Knows America" segment. Tracy and Will created a poignant song based on their story - click here to listen: https://linktr.ee/TracyHargen To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	You know I'm obsessed with Bub's naturals. Honestly, it's because getting older hit me a little
0:05.4	harder than I expected. Like I kind of walk around stiffly in the morning. I don't bounce back
0:11.5	as quickly after a workout. Of course, my skin is changing every day. And that's what Bub's
0:18.5	natural collagen peptides is all about. Starting in your mid-20s,
0:23.8	your collagen production naturally starts to decline. And that's when all those lovely signs of
0:28.9	aging kick in. Bubbs helps turn back the clock by restoring collagen levels closer to what your

1:20.1	AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.
1:30.2	But it knows nothing about your work.
1:31.9	Slackbot is different.
1:33.8	It doesn't just know the facts.
1:35.3	It knows your schedule.
1:37.8	It can turn a brainstorm into a brief.
