Youth Mental Health

Growing up online and Growing up overwhelmed

This generation didn’t just grow up fast.
They grew up watched, compared, and evaluated—constantly.

Social media promised connection, but often delivers pressure.
Pressure to perform. To look a certain way. To be “on” all the time.

Pressure to know who you are before you’ve had the space to discover it.

At Ikunde.life, we don’t blame Gen Z for feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure.
We recognize the environment they’re growing up in—and the nervous systems adapting to it.

Getting to the root, not just the symptoms

They're about:

Constant comparison on social media
Dopamine overload and emotional burnout
Lack of emotional regulation skills
Fear of failure, rejection, or not being enough
Identity confusion amplified by online noise

Stella helps teens and young adults:

Understand how social media affects mood, confidence, and self-worth
Learn emotional regulation tools they can actually use in real life
Build boundaries with technology instead of being controlled by it
Develop internal validation—not just external approval

What changes when a teen goes through coaching?

Improved emotional communication
Less reactivity and shutdown
Stronger self-esteem and decision-making
Healthier relationship with social media
Increased confidence in identity and voice

Why Stella is the right guide for Gen Z?

Welcome to ikunde.life Life Coaching

Stella doesn’t approach Gen Z coaching from the outside.

She is a trauma-informed life coach and a mom raising Gen Z.
She understands the emotional language, the cultural realities, and the invisible pressures—because she lives them daily, both personally and professionally.

This matters.

Stella knows the difference between:

Normal developmental uncertainty and emotional overwhelm
Attention-seeking behavior and nervous system dysregulation
“Teen moodiness” and unresolved emotional stress

Her coaching is not about control or correction.

It’s about connection, emotional safety, and self-awareness.
