Our kids are growing up in an experiment no generation has faced before. Smartphones, social media, and online culture have become the dominant forces shaping their mental health, their relationships, and their sense of self. The results are devastating: skyrocketing anxiety, depression, and a generation more connected yet lonelier than ever. We had no idea how destructive the algorithms, deliberately engineered to turn our children into addicts, would prove to be.
The Bad Mom Podcast: Parenting The Anxious Generation is the show for parents who see what's happening and refuse to accept it as inevitable. Host Vivian Glyck brings the credibility of a TED speaker and founder of Just Like My Child Foundation, plus the authenticity of a mother who personally navigated her son's mental health struggles. She is not lecturing from the sidelines. She is in the fight with you.
Each episode features conversations with thought leaders like Dave Asprey, JJ Virgin, and Lisa Nichols, as well as parents in the trenches dealing with screen addiction, algorithmic manipulation, cyberbullying, and the daily struggle to protect kids from a digital ecosystem built to hook them. Vivian also brings the most current information on social media legislation and the policy battles being fought right now to protect our kids, because this is not just a parenting problem. It is a public health crisis that demands a public response.
No judgment. No shame. Just honest dialogue, real strategies, and a path to collective action. Because when parents speak together, their voices carry. Through Project Grit, the show connects families to a growing movement working to hold platforms accountable and push for laws that actually protect children.
Vivian channels 20+ years of work with vulnerable families worldwide into helping parents reclaim their kids from the online forces working against them. If you have ever felt powerless watching your child vanish into their phone, this podcast proves you are not alone, you are not helpless, and your voice matters more than you know.

Why Gen Z Isn't Dating (And Why It Should Scare Us) with Christine Emba
Episode 29
Monday, June 29, 2026 • Duration 44:47
When Christine Emba, writer and author of "Rethinking Sex: A Provocation," told me about a young man who took crystal meth to hollow out his cheekbones, I felt that familiar 3am dread, because underneath every bit of that bravado is fear, and I see it in our kids.
So here's the thing: this episode is about why Gen Z has stopped dating, stopped connecting, and started "optimizing" themselves into total isolation, and what that loneliness is costing an entire generation.
Here's what Christine knows that most parents don't: the boys disappearing into looksmaxxing forums and AI companions aren't broken, they're scared and unmoored, raised in a world where the old social norms simply dissolved out from under them.
She gave me the most beautifully simple framework I've heard in a long time, and it starts with two words: "touch grass”, getting our kids off the screen and into third spaces, real rooms with real people. You'll walk away knowing how to ask your kid the one question that cracks the door open instead of slamming it, and why connection, not control, is still 100% the cure.

He Was My Biggest Fear. Now He's Teaching Me. | with Zak Koenigs
Episode 28
Monday, June 22, 2026 • Duration 49:34
When my son Zak Koenigs, founder of Prospect Forge, walked back into the studio for this second conversation, I could feel immediately that something had shifted in him, and honestly, that shift is the whole reason I brought him back.
We went deep on the data that should be keeping every parent of a son up at night: Scott Galloway's finding that 1 in 7 young men now reports zero friends, Gen Z unemployment running at 8.3% (more than double the national average), and the Federal Reserve's recent report that 41% of recent college graduates are underemployed right now.
Here's what Zak knows that most parents don't: the looks-maxing obsession, the nihilism, the incel rabbit holes, they all trace back to the same root, and once you understand that root, 100% of the conversation with your son changes.
He also breaks down how Prospect Forge is built on "democratizing nepotism," giving young people access to the networks and mentors they were never born into, and shares what he calls the most underrated tool for parents right now, the "cellular fast."
You will walk away from this episode knowing what your son might not be saying out loud, what community, forgiveness, and surrender look like as a practical action plan, and the next right thing you can do to open the door.
The number that will stop you cold: 1 in 7 young men has zero friends, and I finally understand what that silence actually looks like inside our homes.
The looks-maxing rabbit hole is not about vanity. What Zak says it's really about will completely change how you see your son.
Why Is My Child So Anxious? Dr. Daniel Amen on Raising Mentally Strong Kids
Episode 27
Monday, June 15, 2026 • Duration 53:43
Dr. Daniel Amen, psychiatrist, brain imaging pioneer, and author of Raising Mentally Strong Kids, asked me something early in our conversation that I haven't been able to shake: "How do you know unless you look?" He's been asking that question for 45 years, armed with nearly 300,000 SPECT brain scans, and watching his colleagues diagnose this complex, extraordinary organ without a single piece of biological data.
Here's what Dr. Amen knows that most parents don't: what looks like a mental health problem is almost always a brain health problem, and when you actually look at the brain, the answers hiding underneath the diagnosis are often completely different from what anyone expected. He walked me through the four-circle model he uses at Amen Clinics, biological, psychological, social, and spiritual, and why medicating a symptom without understanding the root is like putting a cast on a leg you haven't X-rayed.
The framework he introduced from Raising Mentally Strong Kids, built on the Love and Logic model with Charles Fay, gave me one of the simplest and most powerful reframes I've heard in this space: if you do too much for your children, you are building your self-esteem by stealing theirs.
You'll walk away knowing why your child's brain isn't fully developed until 25, what dopamine depletion actually looks like in a teen, and the one daily practice Dr. Amen calls more valuable than almost anything else you can do as a parent.
What the nearly 300,000 brain scans Dr. Amen has collected reveal about why your kid's anxiety might have absolutely nothing to do with their mindset
The Story Behind the Bad Mom: Why I Started All of This with Vivian Glyck
Episode 26
Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 17:09
I have been asked one question more than almost any other: "Vivian, why did you start all of this?" And the real answer (the one that actually matters) is that I became a mother, and everything I thought I knew about myself got rewritten overnight.
This episode is probably the most personal one I've done, because I'm going to take you all the way back: to a hospital in Uganda where a thirteen-year-old girl died in childbirth and left her newborn daughter behind, to the back-to-back miscarriages that redirected my entire life, and then forward to the moment I looked at my own son Zak — bunkered in his room, isolated, anxious, depressed — and thought, "If I were a better mom, I would know what to do."
Here's what I now know that I didn't know then: the system is broken, not us. When 40% of high schoolers report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, and suicide has become the second leading cause of death for ages 10 to 24 (higher than cancer, heart disease, and AIDS combined!) this is not a personal failure. This is a crisis.
The Girl Power Project, now scientifically studied by Texas A&M University and having reached over 200,000 individuals, taught me something I bring directly into Project Grit: you can transform everything just by telling a kid they have the power inside of themselves. You'll walk away from this episode knowing exactly where this podcast came from, why it exists, and why you, right now, in the middle of whatever hard thing you're in, are not a bad mom. You're a badass in a broken system.
Why becoming a mother is the single most powerful origin story a woman can have and how it became the fuel for everything I've built
Why Your Teen's Brain Is Being Hijacked (And What to Do About It) with John Assaraf
Episode 25
Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 50:28
John Assaraf, behavioral neuroscience researcher and founder of NeuroGym, said something to me in this conversation that I haven't been able to stop thinking about: "In the absence of practice, we all default to our highest level of training, or lack thereof."
That hit me somewhere deep. Because so many of us are parenting from our own unexamined defaults, while our kids are getting their brains hijacked by algorithms designed to keep them anxious, comparison-obsessed, and scrolling.
Here's what John knows that most parents don't: emotions wire into the brain 100 times faster than logic, which means by the time a teen's prefrontal cortex even comes online, the damage from doom scrolling, social comparison, and identity erosion can already be baked in.
He introduced me to his "uncommon wisdom" approach, a total reframe of how we try to reach our kids, and it's not what you think. You'll walk away knowing exactly why telling your kid what to do is neurologically guaranteed to fail, and what to do instead to actually build their identity, self-worth, and emotional resilience from the inside out.
Why the teen brain is neurologically wired to tune you out, and what's actually happening up there that explains everything
Discover John's "uncommon wisdom" strategy: the counterintuitive move that gets your kid to absorb the exact lesson you want them to learn, without a single argument
The reason emotions wire into the brain 100 times faster than logic, and why that changes everything about how you approach an anxious teen
What "down-regulating the stress circuit" actually means, and the breathing and visualization technique (mental contrasting) that eliminated his 30-year-old son's recurring challenge in just seven days
How Do I Let Go of My Kid Without Feeling Like I'm Giving Up? with Lisa Garr
Episode 24
Monday, May 18, 2026 • Duration 31:03
Here's the thing…I sat across from my friend Lisa Garr, someone who has spent 20-plus years interviewing the greatest minds in consciousness and personal growth, and she looked at me and basically said, "I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing as a mom." 100%. And I just loved her so much for that.
Lisa is the host of The AWARE Show, a woman who has given voice to Wayne Dyer, Bruce Lipton, and Joe Dispenza. And yet when it comes to her daughter Kayla, she's been in the trenches right alongside the rest of us, figuring it out one painful lesson at a time.
Here's what Lisa knows that most parents don't: the instinct to put your child on a pedestal, to brag, to grandstand, to lead every conversation with their accomplishments, can actually set them up for a harder fall. She learned that the hard way. So did I. And this conversation gets real about what it actually looks like to stop enabling, stop rescuing, and start trusting that your kid's mess is also their medicine.
You'll walk away from this episode knowing that you are not alone in the sandwich generation squeeze, that letting go does not mean giving up, and that the next right thing might just be staying out of the way long enough for your kid to find their own way back.
Why the most accomplished, conscious women alive can still feel completely lost as mothers, and why that is actually a sign you care
The "pedestal problem" that might be setting your kid up for a harder fall than you ever imagined
What it really means to stop enabling and why saying "talk to your professionals" is an act of love, not abandonment
The Lawyer Who Beat Meta and YouTube: How He's Changing Everything for Parents | Matthew Bergman, Esq
Episode 23
Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 42:38
When you feel the system is rigged and you have no power, sometimes the only place left to turn is the courthouse. Matthew Bergman, founder of the Social Media Victims' Law Center, has spent the last four years building an airtight case against the companies that knowingly designed their platforms to be addictive to our kids.
During our conversation, he walked me through the landmark trial against Meta and YouTube, explained how he found the legal loophole to Section 230 (the immunity law that's protected Big Tech for decades), and shared the absolute moral imperative that drives his work: parents deserve the ability to hold these companies accountable in a court of law.
Here's what Matthew knows that most parents don't: these platforms aren't just engaging, they're deliberately engineered to exploit your teen's developing brain and their need for social validation. You'll walk away knowing exactly how the addiction happens, why regulation alone won't fix it, and what the next steps look like for parents ready to do the next right thing.
The design feature, not the content: Why suing for product liability (not publishing) was the game-changer
The documents don't lie: What Big Tech's own internal emails reveal about their addiction strategy
The frontal cortex exploit: How platforms prey on teens' underdeveloped decision-making abilities
Section 230 is ancient history: Why the "negligent design" exception is cracking the immunity problem
Settlement whispers: What TikTok and Snap's pre-trial exit tells us about their confidence level
The three-pronged solution: Regulation, civil justice, and the court of public opinion, and why all three matter
Why Is My ADHD Kid So Anxious? The Connection Parents Miss with Elaine Taylor-Klaus
Episode 22
Monday, April 20, 2026 • Duration 43:27
"I wasn't handling it well." That's how Elaine Taylor-Klaus, parent educator and founder of ImpactParents.com, describes her early years raising three kids with ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, and autism. Not from a place of shame, but from a place of radical honesty that every parent in the trenches needs to hear.
Here's what Elaine knows that most parents don't: the struggle isn't just about your kid's diagnosis. It's about what you, as the parent, are bringing into the room.
In this conversation, Elaine breaks down her four-phase model for fostering independence in kids and young adults, and why getting stuck in "director mode" is quietly robbing your child of the chance to practice real decision-making. She also drops a truth bomb about ADHD and addiction that completely reframes what so many of us thought we understood.
You'll walk away knowing exactly which phase of parenting you're in right now, why that matters more than any diagnosis, and the five grounding principles that can start shifting the dynamic in your home today.
Why calling your kid "complex" instead of broken might be the reframe that changes everything
The sneaky way YOUR anxiety is getting in the way of your kid's independence (and it's not what you think)
"Assume best intentions" sounds simple until you try it with a 23-year-old and a sketchy mechanic
Why less than 30% of families ever get a proper ADHD treatment plan, and what comprehensive care actually looks like
The surprising truth about ADHD medication and addiction risk that most parents and providers don't know
Four phases of parenting from director to champion, and why most of us are stuck in the wrong one
Why "commit to calm" isn't just a nice idea but the foundation everything else is built on
What If It's Not in Their Head? Connecting Metabolic Health to Your Child's Mental Wellness with Dr. Henna Karna
Episode 21
Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 42:46
I'm going to be real with you: when my son was in crisis, every doctor I saw handed me a prescription instead of an answer. And I kept thinking, "Has ANYONE actually looked at what's happening inside his body?" That question is exactly what Dr. Henna Karna, mathematician turned AI innovator and Harvard fellow, has spent years trying to answer. Here's what Henna knows that most parents don't: the brain is an organ, and unlike literally every other organ in the body, we treat it with symptom checklists instead of data. Her platform, NeuroVitals, connects metabolic biomarkers, lab work, wearables, and daily mood patterns to give parents and teens a biological picture of mental wellness, not just a label. In this conversation, we get into why dopamine-saturated phones may be stealing your child's ability to produce serotonin, and why social media layered on top of a genetic predisposition can turn a quiet vulnerability into a full-blown crisis. You'll walk away knowing why your gut instinct to dig deeper was right all along, and what you can actually do about it today.
Why treating the brain like a "feelings organ" instead of a biological one is failing our kids, and what a different approach looks like
The dopamine-serotonin connection that may explain why your child feels good for five minutes on their phone, then crashes into the floor
What a continuous glucose monitor revealed about a teenager's mental state that his own pediatrician refused to look at
How one mom's moment in a two-minute doctor's appointment changed the entire mission behind NeuroVitals
The "micro action" framework: why asking a struggling kid to overhaul their life doesn't work, and what actually does
What it means to design technology for the user's state of mind, and why most social media never even tried
Why your child feeling lonely even when surrounded by people might be one of the most important data points you're not tracking
Your Kid’s Nervous System Is Not Misbehaving, It’s Surviving with Dr. Aimie Apigian
Episode 20
Monday, March 23, 2026 • Duration 40:09
Dr. Aimie Apigian stopped me in my tracks when she said: "It's not my words, it's not that phrase I'm going to say that will make the difference. I am the medicine." As someone who spent years desperately trying to say the right thing to my son while he was curled up on the couch in that heartbreaking shame posture, this hit me somewhere deep. Dr. Aimie is a trauma physician, surgery residency survivor, and author of The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It. Here's what Dr. Aimie knows that most parents don't: trauma isn't just a single terrible event. It's overwhelm that gets stored in the body as biology, and it's running the show whether we realize it or not. She breaks down the three nervous system states our kids cycle through and gives us a simple but profound framework for reading what's really happening under those meltdowns, shutdowns, and "I'm fine" walls. You'll walk away knowing exactly why your instinct to fix, lecture, or pull your kid out of their spiral might actually be making things worse, and what to do instead.
The reason your child's meltdown seems to come out of nowhere has everything to do with what's happening inside their nervous system, not their behavior
There's a critical difference between anxiety and overwhelm, and most parents are accidentally responding to the wrong one
Your presence (not your words) is the most powerful healing tool you already have
The trauma you survived is living in your body right now, and your kids are absorbing it whether you want them to or not
The three body states that explain why your child shuts down, explodes, or suddenly can't hear a word you say
Why asking "why did this happen to me?" is the question that keeps you stuck, and the better questions that actually unlock healing
How to stop the generational trauma cycle without having it all figured out first
Discover how Prospect Forge is "democratizing nepotism" and why a 23-year-old building this business might be one of the most important things happening for Gen Z right now.
Why Zak believes that almost all of Gen Z's nihilism, anger, and purposelessness traces back to a single missing ingredient, and what parents can actually do about it.
The "cellular fast": what it is, why it works, and why it is not about screen time rules at all.
Three words Zak left me with that I keep coming back to: community, forgiveness, and surrender. He calls it the bow on everything. I call it a lifeline.
There is a question you can ask your son right now that will tell you more than any lecture, any app blocker, or any conversation you have tried before.
