💖 About Raise Strong

A Mission Rooted in Empathy, Connection, and Emotional Strength

Who We Are

You know how children don’t come with a manual, and in the moments that matter most, you’re left wondering if you’re doing it right?

Hi, I’m Alex Anderson-Kahl—a school psychologist, mental health advocate, and the founder of the Raise Strong Podcast. I created this business because I’ve seen—both professionally and personally—how children struggle when the adults who love them are left without a roadmap.

I’ve walked alongside families navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, emotional shutdowns, and explosive behaviors. I’ve watched incredible parents ask themselves:

“Am I doing this right?”
“Why isn’t anything working?”
“What if I mess this up?”

The truth is: Parenting doesn’t come with a manual. And when kids are hurting—whether from loss, change, or big overwhelming emotions—most parents are left to figure it out alone, juggling advice that’s outdated, judgmental, or simply doesn’t work for their child.

So I decided to change that.

💡 Why This Work Matters

Raise Strong Podcast was born from a simple but powerful truth:

Parents don’t need to be perfect. They just need support, tools, and a little guidance to build emotionally strong, connected families.

This business exists to meet you in the messiest, most meaningful moments of parenthood—not with shame or lectures, but with warmth, evidence-based tools, and a deep belief that your family can thrive.

Ultimately, we help rewrite family legacies. We make space for grief and joy, for anxiety and confidence, for rupture and repair. We help parents show up not as perfect people, but as calm connected leaders.

** Because children deserve to feel safe, seen, and emotionally supported—and that starts with you. **

** Because too many good parents are stuck in cycles of guilt, disconnection, and doubt. **

** Because every home has the potential to become a healing space.

** Because when you feel empowered, your child feels safe. **

** Because the ripple effect of one emotionally attuned parent can transform a child’s life—and future **

That is why this matters. That is why this mission is non-negotiable.

Meet Our Team

Alex Anderson-Kahl

Founder

I do this because I’ve seen what happens when a child is hurting and the parent who loves them most feels powerless to help. I’ve sat with families unraveling under the weight of grief, anxiety, and emotional storms, and I’ve watched incredible parents question whether they’re failing, simply because no one ever taught them how to lead with calm, connection, and confidence.

I started Raise Strong because I believe no parent should have to navigate that alone. Every family deserves tools that actually work, language that heals instead of harms, and the chance to build a home where emotions are safe and love is felt, even in the hard moments. This work isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. And I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.
