Parenting isn't easy, and it's normal to worry. Lynn Lyons, therapist, author, and speaker is one of the world's experts on helping parents, kids, and teens manage anxiety. She talks with co-host and sister-in-law Robin Hutson in a weekly podcast full of laughs, and practical advice without the psychobabble. At the beginning of the pandemic, Lynn and Robin started the Flusterclux podcast when their parenting retreats went on hiatus, and they're now 2 years in, talking about anxiety and worry, their love for Mr. Rogers, and the crazy things the mental health field gets WRONG about anxiety.
Anxiety Expert Lynn Lyons has been a therapist for over 30 years. She's an author of 3 books with a new one coming out in October and has traveled around the US and Canada training hundreds of audiences teachers, school nurses, counselors and parents about managing anxiety.
Flusterclux represents that feeling of overwhelm. Each episode is filled with practical advice for parents how to better manage their worry and big feelings like anger and sadness so that they are modeling healthy emotional awareness.
Lynn answers listener questions and gives parents concrete strategies for developing the traits that are their kids' best defenses against anxiety and depression later in life: flexibility, resilience, autonomy, and problem solving. New episodes every Friday at 5AM EST.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic resource and engaging delivery
This podcast always has the most helpful and useful information and I love listening to it. Lynn Lyons is a treasure who is insightful and passionate about helping families and individuals with their worry, stress, and anxiety. She lays out helpful framework and tools in an easy to understand format. I highly recommend this podcast.
FC groupie
I am the mom of a 6 year old with selective mutism, social anxiety, all the sensory problems, rigidity, and global thinking patterns, and this podcast has changed our lives for the better as a family. Have been listening for 6 months now. Forget “the Rogan experience” , “the daily” and all those other highly followed podcasts….. THIS is the true life altering stuff. Flusterclux should be a required listen, right there next to birthing and nursing classes. I am a total groupie now, and recommend to listen to my parent friends all the time.
Life changing!
I found Lynn and Robin, about a year ago, with the help of God, the universe, or some extremely insightful algorithms. Whatever the reason, I am so grateful to both of them for sharing their wisdom and humor with us! With their support, my eyes have been opened to the sticky brain patterns I’ve had my whole life (I am 47), how they have hindered my mental health, and how those patterns affect my children and all my relationships. I am forever grateful to both of you for offering me this new perspective on life and how I can affect change for myself and those I interact with at home and at work.
