How Today’s Politics Is Destroying Our Future

Youth unemployment. Climate inaction. Democratic decay.

In this urgent and grounded episode, Natasha Navarro Gundersen asks a simple but painful question: what kind of future are we inheriting? With global systems failing on multiple fronts, this episode explores how short-term political decisions are compromising the economic, environmental, and emotional wellbeing of an entire generation.

Whether you feel frustrated, burned out, or just numb. This episode is here to help make sense of it all.Politics is supposed to protect our future, but today, it feels like it’s actively destroying it. From rising youth unemployment and climate-induced anxiety to democratic erosion and political performance, this episode presents a sobering analysis of where things stand, and how we got here.

Citing recent statistics from the OECD, ILO, and youth climate studies, Natasha unpacks:

• Why the job market is failing young people

• How political inaction is fueling ecological despair

• What democratic backsliding means for our generation

• And how to resist giving up or tuning out

This is a call to awareness, and a reminder that passivity is not an option.
