Expect to Worry: A Fresh Take on Anxiety Management 😮‍💨


Hey Everyone,

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? You're not alone. In this week's episode, we're diving deep into the concept of "expecting to worry."

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why expecting to worry is a game-changer for managing anxiety
  • How to model healthy coping strategies for your kids
  • The importance of validating your child's feelings
  • Practical tips to help both you and your child navigate anxiety
