About This Podcast

Parenting is the most profound journey we ever take, but it’s also the one that exposes our deepest vulnerabilities and brings up our own “stuff.” Welcome to Kids These Days, a podcast hosted by Dr. Courtney Lynn, licensed psychologist and founder of Integrated Behavioral Health. This isn’t another parenting show telling you how to be perfect. Instead, we dive into the messy, complex reality of raising children, teens, and young adults in the modern world. Combining evidence-based practices with deep self-awareness, we explore the "why" behind your child’s behavior and the "source" of your own emotional triggers. From navigating the unique developmental challenges of every stage—from the foundational years of early childhood to the complex transitions of adolescence and young adulthood, Dr. Courtney and her team of specialists provide the practical tools and clinical insights you need to move from reactivity to calm, attuned presence. Whether you’re a parent, stepparent, or part of a complex family system, Kids These Days is your weekly permission slip to be imperfect while building a home where everyone feels seen, heard, and validated.
