Teen Anxiety, Self-Harm, and Healing is a reality many families are facing—and in this powerful episode of Overcome: A Mental Health Podcast, host Travis White sits down with Jenn Robb, nurse practitioner, author, coach, and founder of Warrior Mom Rising.

Jenn courageously shares her family’s story as a mother navigating the terrifying reality of teen anxiety, self-harm, and healing after her daughter nearly lost her life. What began as anxiety quietly escalated into trauma, self-harm, and a medical emergency—forcing Jenn to step into the role of advocate, protector, and warrior mom.

This episode dives deep into the emotional toll of teen anxiety, self-harm, and healing, the guilt parents often carry, and the difficult—but necessary—decisions required to keep a child safe. Jenn also shares how trauma-informed therapy, healthy boundaries, faith, and community played a critical role in her daughter’s recovery and her own healing as a mother.

If you are a parent feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to support a struggling teen, this conversation offers hope, validation, and practical guidance. Teen anxiety, self-harm, and healing do not have to be faced alone—and this episode is proof that recovery is possible.
