Not Young. Better.

• A Monday in February: The Day Everything Changed — with Lily Crowder

  In this powerful and deeply human episode, I sit down with Lily Crowder—artist, mother of four, grief coach, and author of A Monday in February—to talk about the unimaginable loss of her 15-year-old son, Ezekiel, to suicide.Lily shares the truth of what those early days looked like, the terrifying stillness of grief, and the moments that slowly stitched her back together. She opens up about marriage after loss, parenting surviving children, rebuilding faith, and the radical idea that grief is simply love in another form.Together, we explore the stigma around suicide, how to start honest conversations with teens, and the practical steps every parent should know.This is an episode for anyone who has walked through grief, loves someone who is grieving, or wants to understand how to show up with compassion and courage.

• The Trauma You Didn’t Choose—and the Healing You Can: Ginni Saraswati’s Story

  This week, I’m joined by the incredible Ginni Saraswati—Founder & CEO of Ginni Media, award-winning journalist, and host of The Ginni Show. She’s built a thriving podcast production company, collaborated with some of the biggest voices in media, and helped countless others share their stories.But this episode? It’s about her story.In this deeply personal conversation, Ginni opens up about growing up with a mentally ill parent, the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, and the cultural stigmas that often silence survivors. She shares what it was like to be a parentified child, how she built resilience in the face of abandonment and instability, and why therapy and reparenting became her path to healing.We talk about the nonlinear nature of grief after losing a parent, breaking generational cycles, finding love in adulthood, and building a life that actually feels safe. Ginni’s honesty is rare—and this conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t mean erasing the past. It means owning it.If you’ve ever felt like you were carrying too much, stuck in patterns you can’t explain, or just needed someone to say, “me too”—this episode is for you.🔗 Connect with GinniInstagram: @theginnishowWebsite: ginnimedia.com🔗 Connect with MePersonal IG: @chels_hollandNot Young IG: @notyoung.coWebsite & Blog: notyoung.comThe Baseline (for perimenopause support): Shop here
