We're healthier than ever — but are we happier? In this thought-provoking episode, Shane Hewitt and Ryan O’Donnell unpack the rise of “Generation Active,” where gym selfies are the new social status and pub nights are on the decline.

But that’s just one layer. Kicking off with powerful listener stories about the fear of moving and the hope that comes with change, the show blends real emotion with cultural critique. Hear how one single dad’s message turned into a reflection on parenting, fear, and financial risk — and why connection might be the real health metric we’re missing.
