• Raising Calm Kids in a World of Worry: Tools for Parents, Stepparents & Caregivers

  In this episode, I sit down with therapists and authors Ashley Graber, who is my step-parent coach, and Maria Evans to talk about their new book Raising Calm Kids in a World of Worry. It’s a powerful, practical guide to easing anxiety in kids — and in ourselves — through mindful, emotionally attuned parenting.  We talk about the real pressures facing today’s parents, from screen time and scary headlines to the everyday stress of trying to do it all. Ashley and Maria break down their “SAFER” parenting model and share tools to help you regulate your own nervous system so you can show up calmly and confidently for your kids. This episode is especially meaningful to me as a parent and a stepparent. Ashley has been my go-to step parenting coach since day one, and we talk about how this book is filled with support not just for parents, but for anyone raising or helping raise children — including stepparents, caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and chosen family.  Whether you’re trying to support an anxious child, reflect on your own upbringing, or just parent with more grace and intention, this conversation is filled with empathy, practical advice, and so much heart.
