In this episode of Inner Light, host Aanya is joined by Dr. Jack Hinman, psychologist and founder of Engage Young Adult Transitions. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Hinman explores why authentic relationships are central to young adult healing and growth. He unpacks how connection functions as both intervention and outcome in therapy, why isolation and digital dependence are fueling an anxious generation, and why long-term, holistic approaches—not quick fixes—are essential in building resilience. This conversation highlights the profound impact of connection, life skills, and resilience in shaping young adults’ ability to thrive beyond crisis.
