Summary
Whatever happened to being average? From dance competitions and puberty to inflated grades, elite sports, university pressure, and kids growing into 6’4” strangers overnight — this episode is all over the place in the best way possible. We dive into the exhausting culture of overachievement and why it feels like every kid is suddenly expected to be exceptional at everything. The pressure kids feel around sports, academics, and getting into university, why “average” has somehow become a dirty word, and why more kids (and parents) might actually be happier just playing for fun. Plus: boys are basically mystery bags during puberty, why everyone suddenly seems giant, and the reality of raising kids who simply want balance instead of burnout.
