InTune is a podcast from YEBO that uses storytelling and conversation to help normalize mental health experiences among Black and Brown communities. Hosted by licensed psychologist Dr. Jazmyne Peters, each episode pairs a young adult’s personal story with practical insights that support self-awareness, healing, and growth.

In this conversation, Dr. Peters and Michael Borne explore the complicated relationship many young people have with joy, rest, and productivity. After returning from a life-changing trip to Japan, Michael finds himself wrestling with an unexpected question: Why do moments of happiness sometimes leave us feeling guilty?

This episode invites listeners to reconsider the stories they’ve been told about success and reminds us that rest, curiosity, connection, and joy are not distractions from life—they are essential parts of it.
