Very informative
I’ve listened to many podcasts about parenting and just found this one today and I’ve already decided it’s one of my favorites. The information is really useful and presented in a way that’s easy to understand. I also really like the chemistry of Lynn and Robin and the sound of their voices. That might seem strange, but it’s a huge thing for me when listening to podcasts and audiobooks :)

So healing!!
Even as a mid-20s year old who struggles with anxiety, this podcast is so helpful to implement tips, realize old habits and ways that are no longer serving me, and healing my inner child.

Has helped me understand my son’s anxiety
This podcast was recommended to me by my therapist and I can’t tell you how helpful it has been. I’ve come to understand and befriend my son’s (and my own) anxiety. It has helped me externalize his feelings and see that he is bigger than his feelings. He has grown so much and so have we as parents. Thank you Lynn!!!!

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.

Insightful and Helpful
This podcast is such a great resource! Even if you don’t have child who has anxious patterns, I think you could benefit from Lynn’s advice. Thank you, Lynn and Robin!

So so helpful!
I stumbled upon this podcast while looking for resources to understand and help my child. Little did I know that it would also enlighten me to things about myself that I didn’t even know. It has helped my family look at things and handle situations differently that have made a big difference in our lives. I am also an elementary teacher and have found this podcast helpful when working with my kiddos that display anxiety at school. I have shared this podcast with so many parents and friends. My only wish is that I had found it even sooner. Thank you for all the wonderful guidance, support, and most of all insight to my actions that effect my family.

Help in the chaos!
I have come to love and appreciate this podcast so tremendously over the past year or two I’ve been listening. When we’re trying to help our anxious children, it can be very easy to fall into despair or fear. To counter that, Lynn and Robin’s episodes are filled with hope, positivity, normalcy about anxious feelings, straight talk and advice we can all understand, as well as a humour and light-heartedness that helps bring us out of the heaviness of it all. Whenever I need a pick-me-up I just pop on an episode and it does the trick every time! I highly recommend this podcast!

Always helpful
No matter the topic, I walk away with a helpful nugget or two of how to be a better parent to my anxious child, and how to feel confident in our life! Love the set up and rapport. Thank you!

OMG Love this now!
This is exactly what I need right now… I’ve been going through past episodes and downloading the ones that I think are relevant… And I think I’ve downloaded just about all of them so I’ve decided to go back to the beginning and listen to one episode a day. I have three children ages five through twelve. I’ve always suffered with crippling anxiety stemming back to school days. I am trying to make sure my kids don’t suffer in the same ways that I did, and that they have the necessary tools and help to get them through the same situations that have traumatically damaged my mental health. Your podcast is a wealth of much-needed information… I’m not sure how I haven’t found you sooner. Thank you

My favorite podcast
The past few yrs have been really tough especially on teenagers. This is my first time raising a teenager. I never imagined I'd have so much to learn. Fluster Clux has become my favorite podcast to listen to. It's so informative and has helped me become a better mother. It helps me, help my daughter in so many ways. I listen to at least one or 2 episodes a day religiously. I even replay them sometimes. Thank you so much for the work you guys do. All parents should listen to this podcast. Help your children normalize their feelings and emotions.

Great show for worried parents!
If you’re not worried as a parent in 2023 America, you are so lucky! This podcast is for the rest of us who are concerned about raising well adjusted people who can handle all the change in our world. Love all the things I’ve learned from Lynn & Robin!

Incredible podcast
I am a school counselor and have learned so much about anxiety, phrases to use, and ways to help young people move through their anxiety symptoms, which has been invaluable. It is so beneficial that Lynn provides simple and effective language to use with young people, which I have since used (Thank you!). I highly recommend this podcast.

Amazing!
Just happened to click on this podcast because I need help with my teenagers and the advice given here about anxiety is amazing! Everything you said is 100% true. It’s not an illness, disease, or life long sentence. Allowing the feelings and accepting how we feel gives space for emotions to come and go normally. Focusing on it and fighting the feelings or seeing them as something bad is what keeps us stuck. I dealt with it myself during the pandemic but it’s not an issue anymore because I changed how I saw the feelings and symptoms. So great to hear someone speak about it this way because I 100% agree. Thanks and keep teaching kids and teens the right way to deal with feelings and emotions.

4 stars are not enough
Life changing for me! Thank you ladies! Love the side conversations just as much too

Love every episode
Alll grandmothers should listen! You’ll learn so much!

my "go-to" for anxiety
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lynn Lyons' approach to managing anxiety and giving kids and parents the SKILLS and tools to deal with life's uncertainties. She takes the teeth out of anxiety and her approach can help anyone and everyone to change their minds about what anxiety is, what it means, how to deal with it--and in turn, how to manage life and relationships in general. I don't in general buy books being promoted by people I'm listening to--I'll give it some time first--but believe me i was eager to sign up for the Anxiety Audit, and also her older book.

Practicing therapist
A friend tipped me off to Lynn because she said I would love her, given my own views on working with anxiety symptoms. While making dinner I had the podcast playing and my 13 year old walked in and said, “Oh no! There is a famous, even more enthusiastic anxiety therapist encouraging you now???” HAHAHA! At least she can handle her worry when it shows up and with Lynn and Robins help, you will be able to support your child in a healthy and skill building way to work through their challenges too.

Best podcast!
I love this podcast and have recommended it to so many! Lynn and her sister in law are such a great duo. Lynn offers such practical, helpful, and common sense advice—and all with a sense of humor. I can’t recommended flusterclux enough!

Game changing! Thank you for this support and advice for families!!
This podcast has absolutely revolutionised my understanding of myself and my family. It is helping us get so much more enjoyment from our life. Thank you so much ❤️

Thanks for being so practical!
Love your view on this topic Lynn, it makes so much sense and is easy to understand. Loved your point: “support the child or support the disorder”. Brilliant!

Favorite podcast!
Lynn and Robin are warm, funny hosts who have created a podcast that is full of wisdom, insight, and practical tools. I take something valuable away from every episode, even if I’m not initially sure the episode will be relevant to my family. I look forward to every Friday’s new episode!

Life-Changing!!
Hands down, this is my “go-to” podcast as both a mom and a professional working with children and families. Lynn and Robin are refreshingly relatable to the day to day issues of parenting in this day and age. There are always a bazillion “ah-ha” moments in every episode, which keeps me coming back for more. Thank you!!

Stupendous
Fun and accessible and so professionally competent. Lynn and Robin have such a warm trusting fun relationship. Two very real women saving our anxious families.

Thank you!
This podcast has changed our lives - giving us new perspectives on old habits, and creating space in our homes for flexibility and freedom from anxiety! Thank you!

Fantastic!
This podcast is fantastic. Listen to them all- even if you think that topic isn’t relevant- you will get takeaways. I wish more people listened to this podcast. More people would understand how anxiety impacts their life in big or small ways on a daily basis. I learn something with every episode. I understand myself and family members better.

Great to listen with kids
I work with people with anxiety and find this podcast useful professionally but where it’s been entirely invaluable is in listening with my kids aged 13 and 10. We have shared language that makes conversations so much easier but also gives us a jumping off point to start hard topics. Being able to ‘see’ what Lynn and Robin identify in our family members has also finally broken open this topic of avoidance/anxiety in a way that is dynamic changing. Specifically, in terms of making good choices to overall reduce anxiety as opposed to avoiding situations that bring anxiety but by avoiding has historically robbed us of many opportunities to connect with one another and community. Thanks so much! And I love love love their sense of humor.

Therapist Approved!
I’m a therapist and live by Lynn. I recommend her podcast to everyone and I am completely bias because I cannot find another parenting guru I completely trust and standby! Thanks Lynn! ❤️

Invaluable!!
What a gift to have Lynn and Robin help to navigate all-things parenting! I’ve discovered so much about myself and my kids through this gem of a podcast. Even when the title of an episode feels like it may not apply to our family, I inevitably hear something that resonates or inspires. By far my #1 podcast. Than you, thank you!!
