  • Summary

  • 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!

    In today’s conversation, we’re tackling the anxiety that often surrounds the university and college application process, not only for your teen but for you as well. Whether your teen is knee-deep in applications or feeling the weight of waiting for responses, this time can bring a lot of pressure. But there’s no need to worry - I'm breaking it down and offering helpful strategies for both of you.

    I’ll walk you through the common stressors: deadlines, the fear of rejection, and the uncertainty of the future. Understanding how these emotions show up can make all the difference in supporting your teen through this intense period.

    We’ll also explore practical advice for parents on how to manage your own anxiety, provide the right kind of reassurance, and help your teen stay grounded throughout this process. By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable tools to turn the stress of applications into an opportunity for growth and connection.

    Listen in as we explore how to guide your teen through this challenging time with calm and confidence.

    Big hugs,

    Monica Crnogorac

    30 | Why Teens Lie: Understanding Anxiety’s Role and How to Respond with Compassion
    Jan 21 2025

    Hi Parents!

    In this episode, we're diving into a topic that can feel frustrating - when your teen lies. I know how tough it can be to understand why they’re being dishonest, but recognizing anxiety as a driving factor can change how you respond. This episode is all about helping you navigate these tricky moments with empathy and clarity.

    I share insights into how anxiety often leads to lying, especially when teens are overwhelmed by fear, shame, or the pressure to protect themselves. By understanding the “why” behind the behaviour, you’ll be better equipped to support your teen in managing their emotions and fostering honest communication.

    This conversation also includes practical strategies for parents - like shifting from punishment to curiosity and addressing the root causes of anxiety. These tools will help strengthen your relationship with your teen and guide them toward healthier ways to cope with stress and pressure.

    Tune in, and let’s work together to help your teen break free from anxiety-driven behaviours and build trust in the process!

    Big hugs,

    Monica Crnogorac
