Lily shares her thoughts about what is broken in the world today and about how adults are breaking things.
Lily discusses her frustrations with annoying brothers, paper straws, fake Sprite, adults using their phones, Instagram, the pressure to be perfect, beliefs about money, and coping with stress.
She gives suggestions for how people might better cope with frustrations, find happiness, and be more present in their lives.
