- Awesome
I listen to this podcast as a 12 year old girl, and the information is extremely helpful during my day-to-day life. I have learned many tools to cope with anxiety and other personal issues, and it has really been a game changer. Highly recommend. (Also, I think that Lisa’s voice ads to the overall affect)

Again and again in my practice, I see tweens and teens circumventing any social media restrictions their parents think they had. Any parental controls are an illusion. Social medi... more
Apple Podcasts2Sacmd41United States2 months ago Just a bunch of neurotic nonsense for modern parents who want to be hand held through very normal things. Nothing they say is particularly insightful and the problems they address are mostly in the minds of paranoid parents. Please dont listen to this show, its just not worth the time.
