| 0:00.0 | Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting. |
| 0:07.0 | Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels. |
| 0:12.0 | Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival |
| 0:17.6 | Podcast. Today I want to talk about your own anxiety and I've had a couple of episodes on this in the past but I feel like I have more to talk about related to how dealing with our own anxiety can help us become a better parent. |
