Not sure what’s better, the excellent in tune advice or Lisa’s soothing voice. It’s like ASMR and self help combined into one.

My go to for parenting teens!

Love this podcast. Lisa’s advice is well informed and caring and her voice is wonderfully warm and caring. The podcast has made the difference for my family more than once. When I’m overwhelmed with parenting the down to earth caring advice offered here help me feel I’m not alone.

Awesome

I listen to this podcast as a 12 year old girl, and the information is extremely helpful during my day-to-day life. I have learned many tools to cope with anxiety and other personal issues, and it has really been a game changer. Highly recommend. (Also, I think that Lisa’s voice ads to the overall affect)

Social media episode

As a pediatrician and the mother of 2 teens, I listened to this episode eagerly because it comes up in my daily practice and my life. I was so disappointed to hear one of the hosts declare that she bought her daughter a phone at age 11 and both hosts confidently declaring that there was “no social media“ on said phone. Again and again in my practice, I see tweens and teens circumventing any social media restrictions their parents think they had. Any parental controls are an illusion. Social media is dangerous. Say no to a phone until 16. There, I did the Podcast over for you.

Phenomenal

This podcast is my favorite listen of the week! I had learned so much from it and become a better parent because of it! My spouse recently commented on how my parenting has changed and I gave credit to Dr. Lisa!! Thank you Dr. Lisa and Reena.
