Parenting anxious kids can be stressful! It's hard to watch our kids struggle. If you have a child who worries a lot, avoids certain social situations, or even shows physical signs of panic when facing their fears, you might start to wonder, "Does my child have diagnosable anxiety? Or is this just part of growing up? And what am I supposed to do to help them?" Sound familiar? I’m raising my hand! This is a personal topic for me because I struggle with anxiety myself, and just in the last few months, my daughter has started to show some symptoms of anxiety. If you’re like me, and these questions have ever come to mind, you will love my interview with Dr. Terri Bacow, a well-known expert in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I was thrilled to have a true expert on this topic! To see the full show notes, including takeaways, click here. For the full transcript, click here.

As I hope you know, I’m hosting a free masterclass on Overcoming Overwhelm during the first week of April.

Making dinner for my family is…not my favorite. If you've been listening to the podcast for very long, you've probably heard me talk about this. It is a constant work in progress for me to figure out how to get dinner on the table, and one of the resources that has been helping me a lot in the last year is the podcast Didn't I Just Feed You. Stacie and Meghan, the hosts of Didn’t I Just Feed You, invited me on their podcast to talk about my journey with feeding my family and how I am learning to declutter the guilt and stress that I feel around this task. I had so much fun being a guest on their podcast, and they graciously agreed to let me air the audio of that conversation today on 3 in 30. -Meal Planning for Everyone audio course -Didn't I Just Feed You Podcast Announcement: Declutter Your Motherhood - Rachel’s audio course Handout to walk you through the three-step process on your own.

We've spent the last month talking on this podcast all about nurturing our romantic relationships and learning skills for navigating conflicts, building emotionally mature connections, and communicating about vulnerable topics such as intimacy, sex, and desire. This week's episode is, in a way, a continuation of that same theme…because how much more equipped will our children be for their future romantic relationships if we start talking to them now, in age-appropriate ways, about their bodies, their relationships, and their impact on other people? Conversations about puberty, sexuality, and everything in between can be extremely intimidating for parents, so thankfully, there are people like Rowena in the world to help us with these tricky conversations!

In Monday's episode, we talked with therapist Eli Harwood about How to Be a Safe Place for Your Spouse, and one of her takeaways was that it's important to light up about the things that our partner lights up about. Sometimes our spouse’s differences don't feel very loveable to us, and their interests might even feel scary or threatening to us. I loved Eli’s response to my question about this, and I know you will, too. Episode Sponsors: BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
