We have all heard the phrase 'Chemical Imbalance'. It can make depression and anxiety feel like lifelong afflictions that can be managed but never cured. THIS IS FALSE. In this episode, Lynn dispels the common misconceptions surrounding the permanenc... more
Do you wish your child could hear about worry directly from Lynn? Here you go! In previous episodes Lynn has spoken directly to teens; this episode is for the youngsters. She describes how worry works, what makes it better and worse, and how to exter... more
Tracking each other has never been easier or more commonplace. Many of us have a roster of friends whose locations we can see 24/7. But what may seem like a harmless convenience and safety measure is actually fueling loneliness, anxiety, and distrust... more
A parent has been using the puzzle pieces to help her young son with his fears, but he still gets panicky and clingy when it’s time to head into activities. If he’s not willingly stepping into the worry, is it still working? Is the pattern still chan... more

I rarely write reviews, but this podcast deserves all the praise it can get! I discovered this podcast through another trusted podcast I regularly listen to, and I knew I had to give it a try. Since then, it’s one of my absolute favorite ones and I’ve learned so much, not only about managing my older son’s anxiety but also about understanding my very own anxiety better. Last weekend, we went skiing, and my son was refusing, as expected, to go down the big hill. I knew he was ready though, and I ... more
I love how informative and useful your episodes are. I was wondering if you could create 1 or more episodes on how to address the current situation children are facing with inequality, persecution by ICE, racism. How to do this while maintaining compassion, respect and kindness and without robbing them of their innocence. Thank you Lynn
What would Lynn Lyons Say? I have learned so much for my kids and my family as well as helping me understand other children and even students in my class. Empathy is at the root of Lynn's skill based guidance with a healthy dose of humour and laughter towards wellbeing for anyone. Thank you. I'm saving this one along with the rest in my back pocket.
You all have been so helpful to me (and my husband because I share all the info with him and he uses the tips/language - yay!). My 5 year old daughter’s anxiety was the cult leader of our family since she was a little toddler, but through reading Lynn’s books and listening to the podcast for several years, we’re taking back control. As she enters each new classroom in daycare and kindergarten this year, it has been so helpful to be able to have a framework to give the teachers on how we’re manag... more
I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Lynn and Robin for the amazing podcast that they have produced. I am not sure words can describe how helpful your advice has been to my family and others. I feel like we could be best friends the way you talk to your audience and each other. I have sent your podcast to every parent I know.
You have addressed so many topics related to parenting, especially anxiety. My husband and I did not know how to help my son, now 13, with his anxiety. Also, I fel... more
