In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Lauren Cook, who will be diving into a topic that affects many parents in the modern era – anxiety in Gen Z.

Dr. Cook, a therapist and author, brings her expertise and insights from her book "Generation Anxiety," which provides a guide for millennials and Gen Z to navigate an uncertain world.

We'll be exploring how anxiety manifests in young people, particularly as they contemplate starting a family or becoming parents. Plus, we'll discuss strategies for overcoming fear, managing anxiety, and finding empowerment in the midst of uncertainty.

During our conversation, we chat about the fears and anxieties surrounding starting a family and becoming parents, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about climate change. Lauren offers invaluable insights on how to tackle these challenges and find a sense of community and connection even in uncertain times.

If you've ever experienced anxiety, worried about starting a family, or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of Gen Z anxiety, this episode is a must-listen.

Get ready for an insightful and empowering conversation. Let's dive in!
