Our very own, Angela Robinson, has written another anxiety book—and this one’s full of BUGS. 😱

🪳Growing up in Columbus, Georgia, Angela was absolutely terrified of roaches. And not the ordinary kind—these were giant, flying, armor-plated monsters that lived near the Chattahoochee River and laughed in the face of hairspray. (Spoiler: Aqua Net doesn’t kill them. It just makes them mad. 😅)

But while she was dodging roaches, she was also quietly battling something else: anxiety.

As a child, Angela didn’t have the language for what she was feeling. Labeled “too emotional” or “too sensitive,” she withdrew after the loss of her father at a young age—grieving deeply while overachieving to hold everything together on the outside.

Now, with nearly two decades of experience as a therapist (and many years in therapy herself), Angela understands what she didn’t know back then: those big feelings weren’t a flaw. She didn’t need to toughen up—she needed tools, support, and a space where sensitivity could be seen as a strength.

That understanding became the heart behind her latest creation:
🦋 Buggin’ Out: An Anxiety & Mindfulness Guide for Kids & Teens.

This playful, creative, and science-informed workbook helps young people understand and manage anxiety through the surprisingly wise (and often misunderstood) world of insects—even the creepy-crawly ones.

Inside, readers will find:
✔️ Fun bug facts and metaphors (because bugs make brilliant teachers)
✔️ Drawing and writing prompts
✔️ Kid-friendly mindfulness techniques
✔️ Affirmations that actually stick
✔️ Practical tools to feel calmer, braver, and more in control

✨ Best of all, Angela had the joy of collaborating with her oldest son—the mysterious and wildly talented Francis the Rage Machine. His illustrations bring every bug and emotion to life with humor, heart, and incredible personality.

Although written for kids and teens, Buggin’ Out is also a wonderful resource for:
🌿 Parents supporting their child’s emotional world
🌿 Therapists and counselors looking to enhance their work
🌿 Educators integrating mindfulness into the classroom

Whether it’s for a child who’s been called “too sensitive,” a kid fascinated by bugs, or your own inner child in need of some insect-inspired wisdom, Buggin’ Out offers something meaningful.

Joy doesn’t always announce itself—it slips in quietly, in a moment, a smile, a breath of peace.

So when it shows up, steal it. Hold onto it. Let it fill you up.

Even in the middle of chaos, joy is worth grabbing with both hands. 💖
