Parents, do you worry about your teen’s emotional well-being and how anxiety may be affecting their daily life? Have you felt helpless or unsure about how to support your teen through their struggles? Are you concerned about the long-term impact of anxiety on your teen’s mental health? Are you looking for guidance and support from experts who understand what you’re going through and can provide practical advice to your teen for navigating this journey? Hi, I’m Monica Crnogorac and I’m so excited that you’re here on Parenting Anxious Teens. Things may seem smooth and easy for me now, but they weren’t always this way. I remember what it felt like to be a teen and feel overwhelmed, alone, confused, and frustrated. Even though I had the awareness of how I was feeling, I still struggled to overcome the heavy emotions because I was afraid of letting anyone in. I was hoping I would be able to ignore it and shove it under the rug without really needing to address it. What happened? My feelings of anxiety and overwhelm intensified and that freaked me out. I needed to find a way to free myself from the hole I dug, so I finally decided to work with someone who helped me let go of the burdens of anxiety I was carrying for years. It wasn’t easy and it made me shed a few tears, but I was able to release the pain and move forward to living a life where anxiety doesn’t have the driver seat. Let me tell you, the time, energy, and money I put towards my own transformation is what inspired me to help teens today. Resolving my own anxiety allowed me to uncover the secret to overcoming big emotions in an easy, manageable, and adaptive way. After falling in love with the self-growth journey, I went to school to get educated and certified so I can empower you and tell you everything I know. Inside this podcast, we explore the nature of non-clinical anxiety, uncovering its triggers, signs and symptoms, and the profound impact it has on a teen’s life. Parents, you will learn how to understand, support, and empower your teens through their struggles with anxiety. You’ll learn actionable steps you can take to create a supportive environment at home and help your teen manage their anxiety effectively. But we don’t stop there. I bring on expert guests, share anxiety hacks, and equip both teens and parents with practical strategies for building resilience, coping with stress, and navigating those turbulent waters with grace and strength. We are going to simplify teenage anxiety for you because I want you see your teen happy, confident, and thriving. I want you to be able to have a strong and supportive relationship with them where everyone feels understood and supported. Most importantly, I want to help them reach their full potential despite what they’re going through. So, grab your favourite drink, get in some comfy clothes and let’s dig in.

Hi Parents!
What if the key to helping your anxious teen wasn’t just about them - but started with you? In this episode, we’re exploring the powerful connection between emotional wounds and how they impact parenting, especially when raising teens who struggle with anxiety.
I’m joined by Shelly Robinson - certified trauma-informed parent coach, founder of Raising Yourself, and mom of two teens. Shelly specializes in helping parents reconnect with themselves so they can show up more calmly and intentionally in their parenting. Her work invites parents to move beyond reaction and into meaningful, heart-centered connection with their kids.
More About Shelly:
Shelly Robinson is a conscious parenting coach, the founder of Raising Yourself, and the creator of the Connected Kid Toolkit. She helps parents break generational cycles and build emotionally connected homes, with a global community of more than half a million parents engaging with her work. Through her warm, insight-driven approach, Shelly empowers caregivers to heal unresolved childhood wounds and raise their children with greater clarity, compassion, and presence. Her insights have been featured on MindValley, GoZen, Raised Good, and Good News LA, and her work continues to support families in creating grounded, healing-centered homes.
Together, we unpack how your triggers are actually invitations, clues that point toward unhealed parts of yourself. Shelly breaks down how self-awareness and self-compassion can change how you connect with your teen, especially when they’re overwhelmed, shut down, or angry. We also dive into what it means to normalize tough emotions, navigate conflict without projecting, and show up as a calmer, more grounded version of yourself.
By the end of this conversation, you’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered with actionable tools to parent from a place of awareness, not anxiety. Because when you heal - you create space for your teen to heal, too.
Big hugs,
Monica Crnogorac
