E179: Worry vs. Anxiety: How to Manage Both as Parents
Join us for Episode 10 of Teaching Keating as we unpack the difference between worry and anxiety—two emotions every parent knows all too well. From late-night brain spins to kid-related concerns, we dive into what sets these feelings apart, how they show up in our lives, and why worry can actually be a good thing (yes, really!). We share personal stories—like chain-smoking breakups and Bill Murray movie callbacks—plus practical tips for managing worry in ourselves and our kids. Spoiler: It’s all about leaning in, not avoiding.
In this episode:
- Worry vs. Anxiety: What’s the difference and why it matters
- How our upbringing shapes what we fret about (kids, money, you name it)
- What our kids might be anxious about—and how we can help
- Pro tips: Physical outlets, sleep hacks, and knowing when to call in backup (hello, therapists!)
A little marriage real talk: To wallow or not to wallow?
