Welcome to The Middle Space by Salt & Arrows

A podcast for parents, educators, and caring adults navigating the messy, meaningful space between control and letting go. Hosted by Sharon, counselor‑in‑training and educator, this show explores the emotional and relational challenges kids (especially middle schoolers) face today — and the equally real challenges adults face as we grow, heal, and stay present through it all.In this episode of The Middle Space, Sharon sits down with Zion Givens — a Gen Z speaker, youth advocate, and one of the most refreshingly honest voices you’ll hear on what teens are actually experiencing today. If you’ve ever wished you could get inside the mind of a teenager without… you know… actually asking your own teenager (because they’d rather eat drywall than talk), this conversation is your new best friend.
