"Send Ben a text"

What do you do when your child is too scared to go down the big slide?

In this fun episode, I talk with my 10-year-old son about a moment when he felt nervous—and how he learned to be brave. We share a simple trick his mom taught him that helped him face his fear and turn anxiety into excitement.

You’ll hear real stories, lots of laughs, and a powerful lesson you can use with your own kids.

🎧 You’ll learn:

• Why anxiety and excitement feel the same
• How to help your child be brave when they’re scared
• What it means to “flex your brave muscle”

This episode is a great reminder that bravery isn’t about having no fear—it’s about choosing to try anyway.
