In this powerful and honest conversation, Dr. Unnatti Jain breaks down how generational gaps show up in parenting, leadership, schools, and workplaces, and how to bridge them without guilt, shame, or control. From parenting teens and Gen Z to navigating divorce, cultural expectations, and self-growth, this episode reminds us of one core truth: everything begins with you.
