In this episode, we dive into the U.S. Surgeon General’s recent advisory on the mounting stress facing parents today, highlighting how mental health challenges in caregivers impact both parents and their children. With 33% of parents reporting high stress compared to 20% of non-parents, it’s clear that the pressures of modern life—raising kids in a fast-paced, tech-driven world, and dealing with financial and safety concerns—are taking their toll. I want to emphasize that stress isn’t a personal failing, but a reflection of real-life challenges. I’m sharing practical steps to manage your stress, nurture your well-being, and support your family, with tips you can incorporate into your daily life.
