Feeling like a bad mom? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Vivian Glyck talks with Cy Wakeman, bestselling author, therapist, and mom of four, about how ego, fear, and over-parenting are fueling the anxiety epidemic—and what parents can do differently.

Cy shares practical tools for emotional regulation, “clean thinking,” and co-creating growth with our kids instead of trying to fix them.

🌱 Key Takeaways:

• Anxiety is often self-generated and parent-reinforced.

• The ego tells stories that create fear and shame.

• Love your kids up, then call them up to greatness.

• Don’t rescue or abandon—stay present with love and boundaries.

• Clean thinking = less chaos.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re parenting from exhaustion or fear, this conversation will help you breathe again—and remind you that your calm is your child’s cure.
