Raising Anxious Kids with Kimberly Sells | Episode 188


Listen Later

I wish this weren’t the reality we face, but the truth is that anxiety is skyrocketing among people of all ages and stages of life. When you add the whirlwind of teenage hormones into the mix, you’re looking at anxiety amplified to the max.

Joining me for this conversation is Kimberly Sells, a mom of four who lives in Wisconsin near beautiful Lake Michigan. Kim has learned some hard parenting lessons on faith, trust, and surrender during a stormy season of raising an anxious teenage girl. I am so grateful that Kim, with her daughter’s permission, is sharing her story with us today.

Kim’s daughter was a seventh-grader thriving in the world of competitive gymnastics when the pandemic brought ordinary life to a halt, launching her into a three-year journey with debilitating anxiety and depression.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Lessons Kim learned through her daughter’s anxiety journey
  • Insights for dealing with our own strong emotions when we see our kids struggle
  • Why mentors are so crucial along with practical tips for finding a mentor
  • And more!

I hope you find this conversation with Kim as courageous and inspiring as I did!
