I am thrilled to be back this week, diving into an incredible conversation with beloved therapist, Sissy Goff! We're tackling the topic of anxiety and its ripple effect on our kids and on our parenting styles.

With 30 years of experience guiding kids and parents, Sissy brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Plus, she's sharing tips from her latest book, The Worry Free Parent. We cover so much in this episode, including:

1. A parent’s most important job

2. Why we are seeing more anxiety in kids & parents

3. 5 parenting traps

4. Your parenting superpower

5. Sissy’s moment of hope in the Covenant School shooting aftermath
