The Reality of High School — Unfiltered

Mind Over Matter is a podcast by YouthCare Connect, hosted by Kaavya Bajaj and Adhya Balaji — two high schoolers sharing the honest, unfiltered reality of high school life that no one tells you about.

Through real conversations about stress, expectations, burnout, and social experiences, they guide students through the challenges of high school — from friendships and cliques to homework loads and academic pressure.

Kaavya’s bubbly, humorous, and upbeat energy paired with Adhya’s unique, intelligent, and laid-back perspective make for an engaging, relatable listen. Tune in, grow with them, and learn how to balance it all.
