Ep. 161: Tessa Stuckey

Alex and Shane chat about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, the effects that is has on sufferers, and Alex's experience navigating it.

Author and therapist Tessa Stuckey knowledgeably discusses enforcing tech boundaries with your kids and teens, the adverse effects of social media on developing minds (e.g. "victim fishing" and isolationism), and how to cope if your child is succumbing to negative influence online. 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like Goop's comments about "kids ruining relationships," why our partners should know more about our cycles, "benching," and so much more!
