Podcast this week - "Worried about Judgement". Social anxiety sucks. I have had many emails from teens about friendships. The pandemic has made connecting with others difficult. Interpersonal connections are important and humans are meant to live in a tribe. - My mental health is affected when I feel isolated. Be yourself - lean to let go of judgment. You can find the podcast and subscribe on all Podcasting platforms. Please send the podcast to a tween or teen in need! Sen...ding Love and Light https://www.buzzsprout.com/1024489

Very validating article. - hitting COVID wall. A survey by the National Center for Health Statistics found that 41 percent of Americans showed some symptoms of an anxiety disorder or a depressive disorder in January, up from 34 percent in May. The pandemic wall pops up at different times for different people, but for a vast group of people, the wall has smacked them in the face within the past three weeks. https://www.washingtonpost.com//d48e0722-6599-11eb-886d-52

Being a Parent right now is hard!! - Kids and teens are stressed, restless and lonely ... and it their emotions are coming out at home. I have yelled this week "Shut up and calm down" - that never works. This is my cue to go chillout and breathe. Yelling mindfulness is not effective lol - if this is happening at your house. You are not alone. We are all doing the best we can. https://time.com//dear-parents-its-not-just-you-raising-a/
