Moms are usually low-level anxious about their kids at all times. But it's exhausting. How much of this anxiety we feel is normal and how much of it may require medical intervention? Here's how moms specifically feel anxiety and some tips for making it a little less intense.

Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • Anxiety symptoms that can be specific to moms
  • How clinical anxiety is different from everyday anxiety necessary for human survival
  • How to actively work against your anxiety as a mother

  • Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
