Episode 8: When Your Teen Is Anxious and You Don’t Know What to Do

What do you do when your teen is anxious and you feel helpless?

In this heartfelt episode of The FOCUS Podcast, I sit down with my husband for a real and vulnerable conversation about parenting through anxiety. We talk honestly about what it’s like to watch your teen struggle and not know how to help, and the mistakes we’ve made along the way.

We share:

• What anxiety actually looks like in teens (hint: it’s not always what you think)

• Common parenting reactions that don’t help - and what to do instead

• Personal stories from our own family

• Three mindset shifts that will change how you show up for your anxious teen

Whether your teen is withdrawing, lashing out, or overwhelmed by everyday tasks, this episode offers encouragement, tools, and the reminder that you are not alone.
