The Bad Mom Podcast: Parenting The Anxious Generation

About The Bad Mom Podcast: Parenting The Anxious Generation

Our kids are growing up in an experiment no generation has faced before. Smartphones, social media, and online culture have become the dominant forces shaping their mental health, their relationships, and their sense of self. The results are devastating: skyrocketing anxiety, depression, and a generation more connected yet lonelier than ever. We had no idea how destructive the algorithms, deliberately engineered to turn our children into addicts, would prove to be. The Bad Mom Podcast: Parenting The Anxious Generation is the show for parents who see what's happening and refuse to accept it as inevitable. Host Vivian Glyck brings the credibility of a TED speaker and founder of Just Like My Child Foundation, plus the authenticity of a mother who personally navigated her son's mental health struggles. She is not lecturing from the sidelines. She is in the fight with you. Each episode features conversations with thought leaders like Dave Asprey, JJ Virgin, and Lisa Nichols, as well as parents in the trenches dealing with screen addiction, algorithmic manipulation, cyberbullying, and the daily struggle to protect kids from a digital ecosystem built to hook them. Vivian also brings the most current information on social media legislation and the policy battles being fought right now to protect our kids, because this is not just a parenting problem. It is a public health crisis that demands a public response. No judgment. No shame. Just honest dialogue, real strategies, and a path to collective action. Because when parents speak together, their voices carry. Through Project Grit, the show connects families to a growing movement working to hold platforms accountable and push for laws that actually protect children. Vivian channels 20+ years of work with vulnerable families worldwide into helping parents reclaim their kids from the online forces working against them. If you have ever felt powerless watching your child vanish into their phone, this podcast proves you are not alone, you are not helpless, and your voice matters more than you know.
