Anxiety can feel debilitating, but there are ways to address it. To explore the complexities of managing mental health in motherhood, we chat with Dr. Lauren Cook, a psychologist, speaker, and author of “Generation Anxiety.” Throughout this conversation, Dr. Lauren sheds light on her personal struggles with a phobia and teaches us how to calmly approach our daily anxieties, and give ourselves grace.  As a creator herself on TikTok, we discuss the platform's pros and cons when it comes to mental health treatment. Hint: Don't use it to diagnose yourself. (By the way, her content is awesome.) Listen for valuable insight on how to live with anxiety, not run away from it. Now put in your headphones and breathe in, breathe out.
