The Kids These Days Podcast
Pssst...You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Be a Great Parent
This Isn't Another Parenting Show Telling You How to Be Perfect
Parenting is the most profound journey we ever take, but it’s also the one that exposes our deepest vulnerabilities and brings up our own “stuff.”
On Kids These Days, Dr. Courtney Lynn dives into the messy, complex reality of raising children, teens, and young adults in the modern world. No scripts. No pretending to have it all figured out. Just real conversations about what it actually takes to raise a family.
Each week, you’ll get evidence-based insights combined with deep self-awareness, exploring the “why” behind your child’s behavior and the “source” of your own emotional triggers. Because the path to becoming a calmer, more attuned parent starts with understanding yourself.
Consider this your weekly permission slip to be imperfect while building a home where everyone thrives.
