  • Navigating the Overthinking Epidemic
    Apr 6 2026
    This week we’re diving into overthinking. Everyone has struggled with overthinking at some point, and our kids and teens are especially vulnerable. In this episode, we break down how to shift from negative thoughts to positive actions. Positive thinking and shifting focus is a skill that we can teach our kids that they will take with them into their adult lives. As parents, it’s our job to learn these skills ourselves, and then teach them to our kids. Don’t forget to subscribe to the show as our discussion on the subject has only just begun. Later this week we will be joined by Dr. Julie Orris and of course our wonderful co-host Christina to continue the discussion More from Dr. Jerry Weichman Podcast Website: raisingfamiliespodcast.com Website: drjerryweichman.com Instagram: @drjerryweichman YouTube: @RaisingFamilieswithDrJW TikTok: @drjerryweichman LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jerry-weichman-ph-d Facebook: facebook.com/drjerryweichman Clinic: theweichmanclinic.com This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast IG: @reddrockmusic www.reddrockmusic.com The content in this video is intended for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.

  • Control: Teach Your Human How To Human with Jessica Conquest
    Apr 1 2026
    In this powerful and eye opening episode of Raising Families, we dive into one of the most misunderstood and deeply felt issues in parenting today: control. Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and educator Jessica Conquest joins us to explore how our desire for control over our kids, their behavior, and even ourselves often leads to disconnection, feeling overwhelmed, and emotional burnout. Together, we unpack how screen time, shifting family dynamics, and increased societal pressure are affecting both kids and parents. Jessica offers real tools for navigating those tough parenting moments when you feel completely out of control, and explains why giving kids space to fail may be the most loving thing you can do. From teaching emotional awareness to modeling vulnerability, this conversation is packed with insights that will help you strengthen your relationship with your kids while giving yourself a little more grace along the way.
