Raising Scholars Season 2, Episode 8: Is Your Anxiety Showing?

Aired on Aug 6, 2026


Your stress does not stay hidden from your kids. They feel it, even when you never say a word.

In this episode, Jacquie Langworthy talks with Dr. Nicole Monteiro, licensed psychologist, professor, and mom of two, about why kids absorb parental stress, what burnout really looks like, and how to set boundaries that actually stick. Because your child does not need a perfect parent. They need a present one.
