In this powerful episode of The Collaborative Canvas Podcast, we sit down with Anika Gandhi, a 22-year-old communication design graduate and author of “Between the Lines” — a book that gives voice to the silent struggles of Gen Z kids navigating anxiety in a world that often misunderstands them.

✨ Why is it so hard to talk to parents about anxiety?
✨ What does a modern emotional persona of a child look like?
✨ And how can design thinking bridge the generational gap between intention and understanding?

Anika shares her journey of turning a deeply personal experience with anxiety into a bold graduation project that became a movement. Through interviews with kids, parents, and therapists, she uncovers the gaps in emotional connection — and offers tools, language, and empathy to fix them.

🎧 This conversation goes beyond mental health. It dives into Gen Z insight, emotional storytelling, and the real persona behind those data points marketers chase.
