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.

In this deeply honest conversation, Deborah Moffatt, author, speaker, and host of The Healing Version Podcast, opens up about her journey through childhood trauma, family dysfunction, abandonment wounds, and generational patterns that shaped her early life.

Together, we explore how honesty, journaling, therapy, boundaries, and self-awareness became the tools that finally helped Deborah begin healing her inner child.
