She talks with co-host and sister-in-law Robin Hutson in a weekly podcast full of laughs, and practical advice without the psychobabble. At the beginning of the pandemic, Lynn and Robin started the Flusterclux podcast when their parenting retreats went on hiatus, and they're now 2 years in, talking about anxiety and worry, their love for Mr. Rogers, and the crazy things the mental health field gets WRONG about anxiety.

Recommended by my child’s psychologist

I absolutely love this podcast. Such a great resource to supplement my child’s on-going therapy/med regiment, and helping me to understand my own anxiety and how it plays into my parenting. Down to earth, research based, sound advice.. thanks for all your help! I am also able to apply what I've learned here in my classroom. These days i have at least 4-5 kids in each classroom with mental health needs (speacialist here so i see all the kids), so this has been great for helping me keep an empathetic view in the practices i use to helping a pelefora of needs of our kids.

A must- listen, esp. for parents-to-be!

I wish I had listened to this during my pregnancy. Our family would have turned out much healthier!
With the current mental health crisis so many are facing today, listening to these ideas and strategies is a must for every parent, because many of these problems are NOT chemical, but learned behaviors (or lack of learned skills thereof).
