Description

Hey there! I'm Dr. Russ, and in this episode of The AnxietyRX Podcast, we're diving deep into some real, raw emotions.


Molly Carroll, a psychotherapist, joins me to talk about anxiety, grief, and the rollercoaster of parenting. I'll share my personal journey with anxiety, and Molly opens up about the emotional turmoil of sending her kid off to college—it's a wild ride, trust me.


We'll chat about self-compassion, the power of community, and how to find balance between thinking and feeling.


It's a heartfelt conversation that'll help you navigate life's ups and downs with more ease.


Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
