#64: Helping Teens Navigate Depression and Anxiety

Make Happiness Happen with Shelly Covert

Hello, beautiful friends! 🌟 This week’s episode is a heartfelt dive into a tough but crucial topic: supporting our teens through depression and anxiety. As moms and mentors, it’s heartbreaking to see our kids struggle, but there is hope, healing, and a path forward—and we’re walking it together.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:
✨ Recognizing the signs of depression and anxiety in our teens
✨ Teaching self-compassion (and practicing it ourselves!)
✨ Building coping skills to support emotional well-being
✨ Knowing when to seek professional help
✨ Leaning on faith as a source of strength and hope

I’ll also share practical tools like journaling, mindfulness techniques, and creating routines to help our daughters thrive. Plus, you’ll get this week’s challenge: a simple activity to connect with your teen and help her feel loved and supported.

Join me as we explore how to be the rock our kids need in this ever-changing world. 💕 You’re not alone, and together, we can make a difference. Let’s keep spreading love and hope—you’ve got this!
