About this listen

 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.

    87 | Understanding and Guiding Highly Sensitive Teens Through Anxiety with Dr. Judith Orloff
    Feb 17 2026

    Hi Parents!

    Do you notice that your teen is highly sensitive or easily overwhelmed?

    Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and empath, explains how parents can recognize and support highly sensitive teens, who often experience anxiety more intensely than their peers.

    Dr. Orloff introduces her newest children’s book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, sharing the story of Aurora, a sensitive rabbit learning to embrace her emotions. She connects this story to real-life guidance for anxious and highly sensitive teens, including the importance of alone time, healthy coping strategies, and ways to manage shame or bullying.

    This conversation provides parents with actionable insights into the behaviours of highly sensitive teens, how to nurture their emotional well-being, and tools to help them centre themselves when anxiety and overwhelm strike.

    Whether your teen is introverted, intensely empathetic, or easily stressed, this episode is full of practical advice for fostering resilience and self-acceptance.
