Anxiety, worry, stress... we're all feeling it. Especially now because... pandemic. Even the most Even Stevens and Chill Bills I know are feeling it. My husband, the chillest most zen dude I know, is feeling it. So, when he's stressed, I get all "Chicken Little" and start to catastrophize and fret until I wear myself right out.
This episode is about the anxiety we're feeling as adult humans, as parents, and in particular, parents who are caring for kiddos with complex medical and developmental needs. It's a stressful gig on a good day. Throw in a deadly virus and it's grind your teeth, clench your shoulders, knot your fists, sleep with one eye open level anxiety. 
Avery sat this episode out because this gal doesn't have a worry in the world. It's her mama who's the worry wart. 
Listen in for some strategies (that really work!) for coping with stress and getting the worry under control.
