Dr. Alison Escalante joins us on today’s episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show to talk to us about the “shouldstorm” that is plaguing today’s parents. Perfection and criticism resulting in increased anxiety in kids and adults cause parents, and especially moms, to feel like they “should” be doing things differently. Dr. Escalante shares with us the reality of parenting in 2022 and 3-steps you can use to arrive at calmer, less anxious parenting.

Dr. Escalante is on a mission to eradicate the epidemic of anxiety that impacts us as professionals and parents. Professionals operate on the edge of burnout, and parents (caught in a culture of criticism and perfectionism) are increasingly raising the most anxious generation of kids ever seen. Dr. Escalante developed a method rooted in neuroscience so we can take affection action under the pressure. She even presented her Sigh, See, and Start method at TEDx.

A Board Certified Pediatrician, and an Adjunct in Pediatrics at Rush University, Dr. Escalante publishes widely for a national audience. She writes on the science of human performance as a Forbes Contributor, and on the culture of anxiety as a Contributor for Psychology Today. Having studied Cultural and Ideological History at Princeton, Dr. Escalante has unique insight into the way both organizational and social cultures impact our performance.
