In this episode, Lynn & Ed are joined by Noah Cummings who was featured with Lynn in the documentary Anxious Nation. Noah and Lynn have known each other for (gulp!) 13 years. Noah is open and articulate about doing what works to manage his anxiety. He shares the experience of being an anxious little kid, how his parents tried to help—and what they learned in the process—and how his anxiety still has the ability to trick him. This is a success story of optimism, hard work and connection.

How do I get my child to school? How do I know if I should push my child forward? And Lynn’s favorite: How did your anxiety promote this to an emergency?
