00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,000
Welcome to the voices of young 
people podcast brought to you by

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,600
springtide Research Institute. 
In each episode. 

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,000
We hear directly from young 
people, as they respond, to our 

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,900
research and share about the 
issues impacting their lives, as

5
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,100
sociologists and researchers. 
We see a new story unfolding for

6
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,700
young people. 
One, that moves, Traditional 

7
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,800
institutional boundaries and 
requires careful attention to 

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,500
the inner and outer live of 
emerging Generations at the 

9
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,600
intersection of being and 
becoming. 

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:52,200
It's the voices of young people.
All right, you have any other 

11
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,400
questions before we get going? 
If I sound really scatterbrained

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,500
or say a lot of homes and aahs, 
what do we do? 

13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,300
Hi everybody. 
Welcome to the voices of young 

14
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:09,500
people podcast. 
I'm your host, dr. 

15
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:11,400
Josh Packard. 
I'm really excited to be here 

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,500
today, with one of our interns, 
Donna. 

17
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,700
You want to introduce yourself? 
Hi, I'm Donna. 

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,800
And Donna told, tell everybody a
little bit about who you are and

19
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,800
what you do. 
Yeah. 

20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,000
So I've been interning with 
spring tide for my spring 

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,700
semester. 
Currently a second year college.

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,700
And I'm a Psychology major and 
pass back, and we've been so 

23
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:38,200
happy to have you. 
I mean, your work that you've 

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,500
done the perspective you brought
for us has been invaluable. 

25
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:44,400
Oh, stop it. 
I'm serious. 

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,000
It's been, it's been really 
great. 

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:59,000
Thank you. 
You know, a big part of what 

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,100
we've been working on while 
you've been with us is you came 

29
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:04,800
into sort of the middle of the 
belonging report which comes out

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,000
here in a few days. 
And there were some really 

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,400
important findings out of that 
report that I kind of wanted to 

32
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,300
talk with you about today and 
get your perspective on not 

33
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:19,500
necessarily like the validity of
the findings but but more so 

34
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:22,500
about how you see these things 
showing up in your own life and 

35
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,800
and chief among those, you know,
we found Is right in line with 

36
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,400
what Cigna and other large 
Studies have found about 

37
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,900
isolation and loneliness. 
Namely, that it's impacting 

38
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:36,100
younger Generations more so than
ever before. 

39
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,100
Our data importantly, I think 
goes all the way down to 13 

40
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:42,200
where most study stop at 18 and 
shows the these. 

41
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,600
These younger Generations are 
more isolated than any other 

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,700
generation and more isolated 
than they've ever been there. 

43
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,700
Lonelier. 
They're more socially 

44
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,000
disconnected. 
And I'm wondering, you know, as 

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,200
you, you know, you were right in
this target age group. 

46
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,100
In range, you've already 
completed a lot of those years 

47
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,500
between 13 and 25. 
How do you see this showing up 

48
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:08,100
in your own life? 
yeah, I mean, I think I mean you

49
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:12,200
still connect with people 
through technology but it's so 

50
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,800
much easier. 
So if I have the opportunity to 

51
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,900
go out somewhere and do 
something with people or just 

52
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:23,800
message them through my phone, I
would choose that just because 

53
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,400
it takes less effort, and in the
moment I think they're both 

54
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,400
equally good ways of connection,
but I know in the long run, it 

55
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,800
is not as good at Waiting long 
lasting relationships as doing 

56
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,000
face-to-face. 
Yeah, definitely. 

57
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:45,000
Oh, I see what me and so what 
makes you feel that way, that 

58
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,300
it's not as that, it's useful, 
but maybe not as conducive to 

59
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:52,400
long-term sustainability. 
I mean, there's only so much you

60
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,600
can communicate and only so 
deep. 

61
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,000
You can get when you're talking 
and saying LOL, and using 

62
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800
emojis. 
I mean, you know, we have an 

63
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,700
acute emojis. 
Now though, Donna, I do write 

64
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:06,600
the ultimate way to communicate.
Yeah. 

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,700
It's definitely a lot more 
superficial than face-to-face 

66
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:15,600
communication is and it's also 
more limiting, you know, there 

67
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,300
aren't as many opportunities for
the conversation to Branch out 

68
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:21,399
there are fewer opportunities 
for new people to join the 

69
00:04:21,407 --> 00:04:26,000
conversation and I think that 
definitely impacts how I connect

70
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,100
personally. 
It's really interesting that you

71
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:30,800
brought up this that they're 
less when you're doing 

72
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,600
electronic Communication in a 
lot of ways. 

73
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800
It's very confined, and 
constrained, and it leaves less 

74
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,400
room for other people. 
Going talk about that and why? 

75
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,900
That's important. 
Yeah, so I mean I think everyone

76
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:48,600
is susceptible to this but I 
definitely can fall into an echo

77
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,100
chamber with who I talk to. 
And it's good to talk to people 

78
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,200
that you have common interests 
with and people, you know, you 

79
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,800
have similar perspectives on the
world but that can be really 

80
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,500
limiting for your personal 
growth. 

81
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:05,500
I think it's important to listen
to people who don't think like, 

82
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,100
you and who aren't interested in
what? 

83
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,600
You're interested in, hmm? 
Yeah, it's a really good point. 

84
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:12,900
The one of the things when you 
talk about personal growth, I 

85
00:05:12,907 --> 00:05:15,800
mean, you know, the big focus at
spring tide is as we say, you 

86
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,100
know, the intersection between 
the sort of religious and daily 

87
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:22,300
lives or inner and outer lives. 
And you're talking about 

88
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:25,700
personal growth here with other 
people is that it does, that 

89
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,300
does that lack of sort of 
bringing in outside voices? 

90
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:31,800
Do you think that has an impact 
on the development of your 

91
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,900
spiritual life? 
Definitely, definitely 100% And 

92
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:41,300
I wish it didn't. 
But the thing is, once you now 

93
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,000
that that's the common way that 
people communicate, it's even 

94
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,800
harder to get away from, you 
know, technology. 

95
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,900
I don't think I could just walk 
into a religious institution 

96
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:53,900
that I know nothing about just 
because I'm curious and, you 

97
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,800
know, feel comfortable with 
doing it, but I wish I could 

98
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,800
because it's definitely the way 
I talk to people. 

99
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,900
It definitely Ntly limits, my 
spiritual growth and I wish it 

100
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:10,000
didn't. 
What do you think would do you 

101
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,200
think that you'd be more 
challenged? 

102
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,500
Or is it that you think you 
would that you would find 

103
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:14,400
something that resonates with 
you? 

104
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400
I mean, what do you think? 
I know that you don't know but 

105
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,700
if you're guessing, what do you 
think that you would be missing?

106
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,700
Yeah, I don't know. 
I don't, I don't want to 

107
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:28,300
necessarily be challenged. 
I kind of have such a diverse. 

108
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:31,500
I, such a hippie perspective on 
spirituality and I think, I 

109
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,000
think every religion is great 
and, you know, amazing and I 

110
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,600
don't really want to change 
anyone's mind. 

111
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:40,400
I have my mind changed but I 
could definitely resonate with 

112
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,600
aspects of religiosity and, you 
know, every religion and, and I 

113
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,400
think that's a really great way 
to connect with people, and I 

114
00:06:50,407 --> 00:06:53,000
feel like I'm missing out on it.
Yeah, that's a really good 

115
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
point. 
I think, even back to my own 

116
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,900
college experience is like, I 
don't know that I like your, 

117
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,700
you're spot-on, like, in the 
days, you know, I'm not I don't 

118
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:05,900
think I'm that old. 
You may think otherwise but 

119
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:09,400
certainly, I can Collagen like 
Curry, social media, and those 

120
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
kinds of things. 
And the conversations that I 

121
00:07:11,407 --> 00:07:14,000
remember having in that very 
stereotypical, like, around the 

122
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,900
dorm room, you know, way that 
doesn't actually happen all that

123
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:21,400
often anymore, if it ever really
did, they weren't so much about 

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,300
changing people's minds, but you
brought this really interesting 

125
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:26,000
point that I'd like to talk more
about that. 

126
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:29,200
There were like aspects of 
people's religious faith and 

127
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,200
practice that I did end up 
taking into consideration. 

128
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,800
Whether it was about how to 
pray, or how to worship and what

129
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,400
rituals were Tonor how to be 
intentional and thoughtful that 

130
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,200
those didn't? 
It becoming now that I think 

131
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,200
about it, rick really important 
pieces for me. 

132
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:48,100
Can you talk more about that? 
Yeah, definitely I mean I just 

133
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,300
think people who are more 
religious in general, there is 

134
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,100
this collectivistic attitude 
about it and I think it's so 

135
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,400
amazing that people will have a 
community and they all have a 

136
00:07:58,407 --> 00:08:01,800
similar perspective and they're 
all there for each other. 

137
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,800
You know, like we all care about
each other, you can go to their 

138
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,600
house and ask for a cup of sugar
if you're making. 

139
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Cookies on you ran out of sugar.
And I feel like my spirituality 

140
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,000
is very individualistic and, you
know, that's good in some, in 

141
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,400
some ways but but in other ways,
I don't like it. 

142
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,200
I wish I had a community of 
people who had similar beliefs 

143
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,200
to me because, yeah, I don't 
know. 

144
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:30,200
You just need people to fall 
back on, you know. 

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Yeah. 
It's a really lovely way of 

146
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,400
saying that I mean and makes me 
like I want that for you too, 

147
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,500
like the right, Unity of people 
that you can fall back on and 

148
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:43,299
and in some ways and this, you 
know, this that is what concerns

149
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,700
me personally about. 
The these rates of isolation and

150
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,800
loneliness, among young people, 
especially because these are 

151
00:08:51,808 --> 00:08:54,100
such formative and important 
times to be finding those 

152
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:55,800
communities of people. 
And I don't know if they're 

153
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:58,700
well, we know that they're not 
finding them, all right? 

154
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:14,300
You've recently, I mean, within 
the last few years, anyway, you 

155
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,600
you transition from high school 
to college. 

156
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,600
How did that impact this? 
You know, did you find yourself 

157
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,700
like, was it a relief to get out
of high school? 

158
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:24,000
Or was it like, oh, there's a 
lot. 

159
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,500
There's a loss of community 
there and I don't know how to 

160
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:29,200
replace it. 
There was no police. 

161
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,500
There was a relief because I'm 
both there's relief, because I 

162
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:37,300
was ready, you know, I outgrew 
the high school experience, but 

163
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,200
at the same time it is very 
comforting to know that I have a

164
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,200
group of friends. 
And even if we're only friends 

165
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,600
because we're forced to spend 
eight hours a day together, 

166
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:51,000
we're still friends, you know? 
And you'll still be here 

167
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,300
tomorrow and I'll still see you.
That was there's a lot of 

168
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,200
security in that and then in 
college It's a free-for-all, 

169
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,100
there's there's less opportunity
to meet people. 

170
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:05,100
Schedules are all over the place
and you you really have to put 

171
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,600
in effort if you want to find 
friends. 

172
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,400
They don't just fall into your 
lap. 

173
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,200
So that's yeah, that's a really 
good point. 

174
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,200
Like, in some ways it's the 
least structured Time of Your 

175
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,100
Life between this K through 12 
education experience. 

176
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,300
And then for most people if you 
know obviously not everybody has

177
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:23,400
a gap between K12 education in 
the workforce and some people 

178
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,500
are doing them. 
Concurrently a lot of people 

179
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:26,800
are. 
In fact, if not East. 

180
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:30,600
But but if, but regardless like 
the notion at some point, you'll

181
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,100
you'll, you will certainly have 
a professional job. 

182
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:35,800
You're very bright, and you will
have this regular schedule with 

183
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,200
colleagues that you see, on a 
regular basis. 

184
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
But right now, you're right, 
like, you are in sort of the 

185
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,200
space where every day is, maybe 
not up for grabs, but it's a lot

186
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,300
less structured, right? 
And it's when you need people, 

187
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:48,900
you know, it's a transitional 
period and it's, it's really 

188
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,100
when you need to find P. 
Even if you just even if you 

189
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:54,400
have people who you can just 
commiserate with, you know, you 

190
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,200
don't have those people and it's
tough. 

191
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Well and not. 
So one of the things that we 

192
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,200
found in the study about you 
know it's not the study isn't 

193
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,100
just about as you know like 
documenting the rates of 

194
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,700
loneliness and isolation but 
then also what can be done about

195
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:14,700
it and as we talked, you know, 
as I've been around the last 10 

196
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,900
years or so, doing some research
and talking with people who are 

197
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:22,300
practitioners in the field, I 
get a lot of the sense of like, 

198
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:23,800
what we have to be doing 
something more than just 

199
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,800
listening. 
But you know, to young people 

200
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,300
like we have to be doing G. 
We have to be moving them from 

201
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,400
one state to another state of 
religious being or something. 

202
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,600
And it kind of sounds like what 
you're saying is that, at least 

203
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:36,400
at this time, in your life, it 
would be great. 

204
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,800
If somebody was just there just 
sit and listen. 

205
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:44,300
Yeah. 100% or even just like, 
everyone's in the same boat when

206
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:47,800
they go to college and everybody
struggling, and everyone's kind 

207
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,100
of fused, and I kind of thought 
everyone being in that boat 

208
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:54,500
would sort of form these 
relationships and it really 

209
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:58,700
hasn't, because people just 
choose to be Confused and lonely

210
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:01,900
with their phone in their hand. 
You know what, people need 

211
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,400
confused and lonely with their 
phone in their hand. 

212
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,100
That's just such a I mean I 
think that's such a succinct way

213
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,900
of putting it in certain sort of
sad and, you know, as you're 

214
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:15,200
talking like it strikes. 
Me that maybe it's like it's 

215
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,300
just enough connection, right? 
To make you keep turning to it 

216
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:20,600
but it's not really enough to 
fill you up. 

217
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,900
Exactly, exactly. 
Yeah, yeah. 

218
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,300
Well, it's certainly 
understandable that people. 

219
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,700
You know, in those moments that 
they would say, like well at 

220
00:12:28,708 --> 00:12:33,100
least I have this and they would
dig further into it even if it 

221
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,400
doesn't isn't ultimately. 
The thing. 

222
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,600
That's super useful, it sort of 
means that like adults, who are 

223
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:41,100
trying to reach out to young, 
people would do well to keep 

224
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:42,900
pushing for those in-person 
relationships, huh? 

225
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:46,500
Uh, huh. 
I think sometimes, I mean, I'm, 

226
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,500
you know, I'm, I'm a resistant 
when people who are older than 

227
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:54,700
me, you know, sort of tell me 
what I need sure, if they phrase

228
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,200
it like that, me too. 
And I'm 40 right? 

229
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,300
You know, but people that are 
older than you do. 

230
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:04,200
Have a lot of wisdom. 
And I think it's all about 

231
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,700
framing it in the in the right 
way and persistence and I think,

232
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,200
I think you can get through the 
young people that way. 

233
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:13,200
Yeah. 
Well it sounds like even maybe 

234
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,200
taking a pause on the telling 
them what to do part and just 

235
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,400
sort of listening to what's 
going on with them, let them 

236
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000
vent to you. 
Young people have so much to be 

237
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,400
sad about and worried about, you
know, and they need someone to 

238
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,000
Listen and go. 
Yep, I get it, I get it. 

239
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,600
I understand where you're coming
from. 

240
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
And, you know, actually, I'm not
all that different from you 

241
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,700
either. 
I'm also concerned about that, 

242
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:37,900
and I'm also worried about that,
and I think that's an important 

243
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,400
conversation to have. 
Yeah, it's like, I'm completely 

244
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,400
agree.
