Episode 55: Back to School with a Healthy Mindset

Studies show that 1 in 3 kids struggle with a mental health issue. Today, Michelle Nietert, a licensed counselor, speaker and podcaster, talks with us about how kids’ emotions are so important! Today, we are seeing anxiety and depression creep into our children’s lives because their emotions are DRIVING the bus instead of just riding on it. Listen in as Michelle and Lee discuss ways to help our kids be resilient and have a healthy mindset by redirecting their thoughts.

Ready … Let’s go….
