  • Résumé

  • Does your teen often seem overwhelmed by the weight of the world? Are you unsure how to help them navigate anxiety, self-esteem, and the challenges of today’s fast-paced, digital world? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, Colleen O’Grady welcomes Dr. Jodi Aman, a social work expert with decades of experience helping teens overcome anxiety and build self-confidence. Together, they unpack why today’s teens are more anxious than ever and discuss actionable strategies for managing mental health. Dr. Aman highlights the role of validation, agency, and purpose in easing anxiety, while emphasizing the importance of fostering resilience and community. From learning to calm anxiety in seconds to understanding how the modern digital and convenience culture impacts teens, the conversation provides a roadmap for parents to help their kids thrive emotionally. Jodi Aman is a doctor of social work with 28 years of experience in clinical practice. She helps clients heal from trauma, understand the world, and reclaim self-confidence. She created C.O.M.P.A.S.S., an emotional wellness curriculum for middle and high school health classes designed to mitigate symptoms of anxiety and depression. You can find her live-streamed show on her YouTube channel @doctorjodi, where she discusses topics unique to Generation Z. With her videos, TEDx Wilmington talk, "Calm Anxious Kids," and her award-winning books, she's helped over 2 million understand and reverse the current mental health crisis. Key Takeaways: Anxiety is Manageable: Anxiety thrives on doubt and inaction. Teaching teens to recognize it, stay unbothered, and take immediate, small actions can significantly reduce its intensity. Fostering Confidence: Teens gain self-esteem and resilience when they experience their own agency. Encouraging problem-solving, giving purposeful responsibilities, and validating their feelings can transform their self-view. Connection Over Isolation: Isolation exacerbates anxiety and depression. Encourage teens to engage in meaningful, real-world activities like volunteering, spending time with others, and building community to foster a sense of belonging and purpose. This episode is packed with insights and tools to empower moms and teens alike!
