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.

    106 | Why Parents Need the Right Tools to Help Their Teen Navigate Anxiety
    Jun 30 2026

    Hi Parents!

    What if the most powerful way to help your anxious teen wasn’t about fixing them, but learning how to support them differently?

    In this solo episode, I’m talking about why having the right tools as a parent can completely change the way your teen experiences anxiety and why your awareness, emotional regulation, and responses matter more than you may realize.

    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck in constant worry, or unsure how to help your teen without making things worse, this episode is for you. I dive into the hidden ways anxiety can take over the family dynamic, how parents often unintentionally reinforce anxiety out of love and protection, and why becoming a calmer, more confident support system can make such a powerful impact on your teen’s emotional well-being.

    I also share why I created The Parent’s Anxiety Toolkit™, my 6-week parent program designed to help parents stop feeling helpless and start feeling equipped with the tools, language, and confidence to support their teen through anxiety in a healthier, more connected way.

    Big hugs,

    Monica Crnogorac

    105 | How to Prepare Neurodivergent Teens for College and Build Self-Advocacy Skills with Dr. Tara Williams
    Jun 23 2026

    Hi Parents!

    Preparing your teen for college goes far beyond academics, especially if they struggle with anxiety, executive functioning, or are neurodivergent. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tara Williams, executive functioning coach and professor, to talk about how parents can support their teens in building the real-life skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. From time management and organization to emotional regulation and independence, we unpack what true college readiness actually looks like.

    We also dive into how to help your teen develop self-advocacy skills, so they can communicate their needs, ask for help, and navigate challenges with confidence. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to support your teen and not wanting to do everything for them, this conversation will help you find that balance. Dr. Tara shares practical, realistic ways to start building these skills at home, especially for anxious or neurodivergent teens who may need more guidance and support.

    Whether your teen is a few years away from college or already starting to think about the transition, this episode will give you tools to help them become more independent, confident and prepared for what’s next, without adding more pressure or overwhelm.

    104 | How Parents Can Model Resilience and Support Teen Mental Health in a Stressful World with Dr. Jerry Weichman
    Jun 16 2026

    Hi Parents!

    Raising teens in today’s world can feel overwhelming, especially when stress, burnout, and mental health challenges seem more common than ever. Many parents are doing their best to support their teens, but aren’t always sure what actually helps - or how their own stress may be influencing the dynamic at home.

    In this episode, Dr. Jerry Weichman, clinical psychologist and adolescent specialist with nearly three decades of experience, shares what he’s learned from working with thousands of families navigating these exact challenges. His approach focuses on empowering parents with practical tools and strategies that support both teen mental health and the overall well-being of the family.

    The conversation explores how resilience is not just something we teach our teens, but something we model through our own behaviours, reactions, and mindset. Dr. Weichman breaks down how everyday family interactions can either support or strain a teen’s mental health, and how small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference over time.

    We also dive into the early signs of stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm in teens, along with realistic ways to respond that don’t add more pressure. From building healthier routines to shifting how we approach challenges as a family, this episode offers a grounded, actionable perspective for parents who want to raise resilient, emotionally healthy teens.
