nonchalance is out, playfulness is in 16.01.2026 27m

when the nonchalance era started a few years ago, being nonchalant was the highest virtue, and with that virtue, came an even higher cost: your happiness. disguised as a compliment, nonchalance became a prison dressed as freedom - a way to stay safe by staying detached, to protect yourself by caring less, and to win by never really playing. in this episode, we talk about how nonchalance is out, and playfulness is in - because life is meant to be lived freely, loudly and on your own terms, and at its core, the meaning of life is play. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhvsKGH?typeform-source=grownkid.com overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

taste feels like one of those things people claim to have, but few think about deeply. in this episode, we break down what taste actually is - where it comes from, how it evolves, and whether it’s something you’re born with or build through curiosity, exposure, or maybe just copying people you think are cool. we get into the difference between having a real point of view and just collecting pinterest aesthetics, why some people seem effortlessly cool, and how you can always spot when someone’s taste doesn't feel like their own. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

is ai making you incompetent? 21.11.2025 37m

whether it’s going to Chat for therapy sessions or using it to write a paragraph, AI has quietly, yet undeniably, seeped itself into our lives. in this episode, we go into the implications of AI, like the environmental harm it causes, and the class realities that make opting out a privilege. we talk about the pressure to use AI to keep up and the moral guilt that comes with it, but also how intentional AI use could give marginalized people access to the tools, guidance, and knowledge they never had. if both choices carry harm, is there an ethical way to participate or abstain?
