Growing Up With Dr. Sarah

Parents are often encouraged to prioritize self-care, but when faced with a child’s mental health crisis, taking care of ourselves can feel like an overwhelming challenge. In this episode of Growing Up with Dr. Sarah, Dr. Sarah is joined by author and mom Tracey Yokas, who discovered that in order to help her daughter heal, she first needed to heal herself. Tracey is the author of Bloodlines: A Memoir of Harm and Healing, a deeply personal account of how embracing the power of love can transform our past and strengthen our present. In this conversation, Tracey shares the tools she’s used to heal from generational trauma, rebuild her relationship with her daughter, and navigate the complexities of battling with healthcare systems and more.

It takes a village and Dr. Sarah, Board Certified Pediatrician, is here to help! With Growing Up with Dr. Sarah you will feel confident and ready to navigate all of the sticky situations, conversations, and big feelings that come with family life and raising little humans.
