Anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and pornography are too important and too widespread not to talk about so I’ve pulled in a few friends to address these big topics with.
In Episode 26: Messy Hope with Lori Wildenberg, who is an author, speaker, and parenting coach, we talk about why kids are struggling so much with mental health issues, what parents can do to help prevent struggles on the front-end, and how best to walk alongside them in the midst of darkness. In addition to the episode, you can read more from Lori in her new book by the same title, Messy Hope: Help Your Child Overcome Anxiety, Depression, or Suicidal Ideation.
In Episode 27: Eating Disorders with Alice Churnock, a LPC and eating disorder specialist, we talk about different types of eating disorders (some lesser known but rising in prevalence), why eating disorders are not really about the food, the healing journey, the impact on the family, and practical advice for parents with a child who may be struggling.
In Episode 28: Defending Our Kids Against Porn with Kristen Jenson, an author and the founder of DefendYoungMinds.com, we talk about what led Kristen to get involved in the fight against porn, what our kids need to know, how to talk to our kids about porn at different ages, what porn does to the brain and more.
