I know we always gush over the guests we have on the podcast, but this one really stepped up and got vulnerable in a way we know will help SO MANY! In this episode, we’re joined by registered dietician, mom of 4, and mental health advocate, Carrie Moody. Carrie is here to share her experience navigating her daughter's mental health struggles, the difficulty that can come with co-parenting after divorce, and the effects of social media on all of us! Whether you will face the same challenges as Carrie's family or not, there is so much GOLD in this episode around communicating with your teens, how boundaries and fighting for your kids is one of the best ways we can show our love, and how to have open conversations around understanding triggers on social media. This is such an important topic, so please take a second to share it with another parent! We’re so grateful you are here to dive into this discussion with us!
