What's Really Hurting Kids' Mental Health? Nicole Runyon on Tech, Parenting & the Bigger Picture

Is the real crisis in children's mental health actually about the environment they're growing up in? In this thought-provoking episode, former child therapist and now parent coach Nicole Runyon shares why she shifted her work from treating kids to empowering the people who raise them. Nicole explains how constant screen time, academic pressure, and cultural disconnection are fueling rising anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues in children — and why pathologizing kids for their natural reactions may be missing the point. With compassion and clarity, Nicole offers insight into how parents can better understand what their children are going through, take back their power, and create healthier dynamics at home. If you're a parent concerned about your child's mental well-being, this episode is a must-listen — full of truth, hope, and practical tools for navigating today's challenges.
