Episode 045: Managing Teenage Anxiety with Andrew Sheppard

Parenting Podcast (Archive)

18 Feb
Managing Anxiety

When our son, Andrew, was halfway through his junior year of high school, he started to have thoughts of self-harm that caught him completely off-guard. After meeting with a counselor a short time later, he determined that the unwelcomed thoughts were a manifestation of anxiety.

In the years since then, Andrew has learned how to manage his anxiety in healthy ways. Today on the podcast, he is telling his story, what he has learned from it, and what he believes parents can do to support their kids through anxiety and depression. If you have a child or anyone else in your life who struggles with mental illness, you won’t want to miss this.

When Jesus will return to earth in power and glory

On that great day, as Elder Holland taught, we will “see our Messenger of Salvation descend like “lightning … out of the east,” and we will exclaim, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ 

“With arms forever outstretched and love unfeigned, He will reply, ‘I am he.’”

I, for one, cannot wait!

Audio: “I Am He,” Jeffrey R. Holland, Oct. 2024

(P.S. I miss him!)

I LOVE food - cooking it, eating it, learning abou I LOVE food - cooking it, eating it, learning about the nutritional benefits

It is my love language

When I decided to go *mostly* plant-based a few years ago (check out the podcast this week to learn about that), I needed all the help I could get

Here are a few of my favorite resources that have helped me along my nutrition journey

Not all are entirely plant-based, but all are nutritionally sound

P.S. I am VERY picky about who I listen to in the world of nutrition because social media has perpetuated all sorts of confusion around what is actually nutritious. 

These are all sources I trust ☺️
I never expected a couple of lines in my patriarch I never expected a couple of lines in my patriarchal blessing to send me down a rabbit hole of nutrition research and plant-based cooking

But here we are

This week’s episode of Stand with Lynnette is a little different! 

We’re talking about food, faith, the Word of Wisdom, and why I’ve become a big believer in putting more plants on my plate

No vegetarian conversion attempts, I promise 😉
