Explore every episode of the podcast How Not To Fuck Up Your Kids

Kitty and Katie close the series with the thing so many of us are quietly carrying - anxiety and stress. Why is everyone so overwhelmed, and why now? They dig into why anxiety is more prevalent than ever, what's actually happening in the body and brain, and the practical, human ways to navigate the scenarios that send us spinning. Because understanding it is already half the battle.

Kitty and Katie tackle screen time. From the latest trends and what the research is telling us about developing brains, to the legislation trying to catch up, the pull of addiction, and yes, porn. Because every parent deserves a friend who's already figured this out.

Kitty and Katie dig into the messy, meaningful world of communication, what it really means to tell the truth, how relationships can be put back together with effective communication, and the quiet damage done by too much criticism or praise. Plus the one thing most of us were never taught - how to actually listen.

Turns out the most important parenting job you'll ever have is the one you do on yourself.
