Most helpful, correct approach, been there done it and brought the t shirts of everything else out there and truly failed but I do have hope with this course and I'm a slow starter of a month in now. I've never felt hope previously from any do called professionals.
This is the first programme I had come across that takes the parents first, and arms them with the tools they need first before bringing the child on board. I am on the 4th week and just coming to the end of Bee and it has honestly been a game changer for me. The support from the team and the zoom calls are brilliant, and just knowing we are not alone in our journey has made a massive difference. I attend as many zoom calls as I possibly can as even just listening massively cements all the learning from the videos, enabling you to put it all into practice. We still have a long journey ahead of us but for the first time in a long time, I am feeling empowered and confident about the road ahead and my daughter’s recovery. I am actually excited for my daughter to join the programme! I am so grateful to have found Sam, Hannah and this wonderful team.
I have just come to the end of this amazing program...we have our lives back & we are HAPPY which several months ago I would never have believed possible & I won’t take it for granted ever again! This program has literally saved my daughter & me..I am so thankful that I saw this on Facebook & took a leap of faith. I only had to watch the introduction videos once to finally hear something that accurately reflected the situation we were in & I knew I had to do it even though it would be difficult financially. It was such a massive relief to finally find people who understood & could help. My daughter was in a desperate state, moving between self-harming & suicidal thoughts to aggression & controlling behaviour towards me. I was barely functioning, an emotional wreck & grieving for the daughter I thought I had lost, I couldn’t think straight & my work performance was severely impacted. To finally understand in great detail what was happening to my daughter and what had happened to me was a revelation. I realised I had fallen in the pit with my daughter & my behaviour and responses were fuelling her anxiety & making the situation worse. By the end of the first stage ‘Bumblebee’ I was a new woman, leaving the worry, sadness & guilt behind me & ready to make the changes necessary. Although parts of the program have been really difficult, feeling uncomfortable & going against my instincts, the daily zoom meets for parents were a life line that kept me going, even when I wasn’t confident enough to speak, or if it was too busy to speak, I listened & these zooms continually reinforced the message of the end goal - getting my daughter to dig deep, stop leaning, develop confidence & build her own coping strategies & ultimately to be Happy. In a few desperate moments I used the chat button asking for help & someone was there to call me & get me back on track! I am amazed at the level of support that can be accessed on this program and how committed & dedicated the coaching team are! I now have a happy 13 yr old daughter who has grown so much in confidence & understanding herself & how she can influence and change what happens to her. She is making better friendship choices, she can even leave her phone for several hours & watch a film with me. She is so much more content in herself. There is laughter & fun, we have adult to adult conversations & can leave the house without any drama. I now know to not let myself get involved in any of the friendship dramas (although there are a lot less than before) & just shut it down quickly with a flippant comment & walk away, enabling her to solve the problems herself. Oh & she attended a full half-term at school before the summer holidays! We still have wobbles & whoopsie moments of course but these are quickly resolved & there is a mutual understanding & knowledge from the program that we will never forget!! I would whole-heartedly recommend this program to any parents who want to save their family & who are willing to be reflective on their own journey & parenting to develop a new perspective & outlook on life & to help your children transform. To have my Daughter say ‘thank you so much Mum’ when she had finished her videos was absolutely priceless - she had been begging me to help her for so long & she was so grateful I eventually found the right help - I say THANK YOU SO MUCH Samantha, Davina, Hannah, Martin, Anne & all the wonderful people involved in running the program - I know how invested you are & how much time you give to helping improve the lives of everyone on the program....you are all amazing & I will be eternally grateful!!
We have just finished The Bee portal and it has been so informative, interesting and helpful. You immediately feel more positive and more powerful. The team are all lovely and have their own lived experiences which gives you common ground from the getgo. We are excited to get our daughter involved in the programme now so she can have this power of knowledge and support. If you are thinking about giving it a go, stop hesitating and do it!
wow! I was sceptical at first, and then the process began. I didn’t know what to expect. But it was the complete opposite of everything that I expected. I am so grateful for everything so far and i am thoroughly enjoying the learning experience that it is provided for me. I was concerned about the cost, however, i gain access to an amazing program and i have the option of 2 hours + zoom meetings each day where i can ask anything or discuss anything which i think is fantastic value for money. Thank you 😊
Our family started our journey about 6 months ago and I honestly feel like a completely different parent, teacher (my job) , mum and person. My transformation started as soon as I watched the first videos in bee and I just haven’t looked back. Every single thing that Sam was talking about was like she was describing not only my daughter but also myself. I slowly began to realise that I, had in fact, been living with an anxiety disorder myself for my entire life. But I had just never realised quite how severe it was or even that it was infact an anxiety disorder. I thought I was just a strict, over protective, fussy, over talking, over loving mum. I had an extremely difficult childhood. Which was spent largely with me being petrified of my mother, who was very violent and also mentally and emotionally abusive. I had never spoken to anyone about my childhood in any detail before this course. My husband was aware I’d had a difficult childhood but I’d never really shared the gruesome details. My husband has always asked me why I let my mum treat me how she does (she is still emotionally and mentally abusive now) and I always said because she is my mum. I now know this was guilt. I guess I just shut it out and continued living my life. The day I started the course I stopped contact with my mum. I immediately felt free. Like a weight had been lifted. Like I could be myself. For the first time in my whole 40 years. My husband and children noticed the difference in me straight away. I started really deeply listening to the videos and understanding more about myself and my household. D (the 12 year old with the anxiety disorder) kept asking why I was so happy all the time and my eldest noticed how calm I was. They used to sing a song they made up in jest called ‘no fun mummy’, they haven’t sung it since I started this programme! D was in a terrible place when we started. She had been down every path Sam described. Running out of school, panic attacks getting into the car, freezing in the street unable to move, withdrawing into her room 24/7, doctors saying she was autistic, therapists making her talk, teachers all fussing, reduced timetables. You name it. We had done it. We were in the pit. She now couldn’t leave the house let alone attend school. The final day we tried to get her into school we just broke. We couldn’t do it any more. We phoned the estate agent to value our house and we were going to downsize, leave our jobs and home school her. Our lives were in turmoil. And our house was very far from calm and fun. From day one we followed the instructions with what to do and say to D. It worked instantly. As if by magic. As soon as we turned away from D, she started to come towards us. It took less than a week. We completely left her to her own devices. Told school she wouldn’t be in. And told D that she wasn’t going back until we said so. Slowly, slowly she came to us. She started to join us for dinner and ask to come with us on walks. She started being funny and playing pranks. Laughter came back and me and my husband reconnected. Our youngest daughter had her parents back and the house became happy. Humour has played a huge part. And even though at first sometimes it was pretend and forced, we still did it and now most of the time, the laughs are real. We have had a long journey, with some whoopsie moments. But we learned from them and didn’t let them knock us down. Pollen was a real moment for me. D started watching Sam’s videos and the more she watched the stronger she has become. I watched her transform before our eyes, just as I had. Watching her realise herself that she is recovering has been incredible. She can explain Adrenalin, pop ups, what to do in a panic attack and has become so strong. The moments where her anxiety popped up and she recognised what it was and she could say how she made it go back down have been an important step. My girl is back. And she is the best version of herself. And she is fabulous. And one week before the summer she declared she was recovered. And she got up, and went back to school! I would say we are now a recovered household. We know there will be times when things feel tough, but we now have a whole new way of dealing with it. And it just doesn’t affect us in the same way. I really feel strongly about what this course teaches. I believe it is the only way to recover from anxiety. And I also believe there are other lessons for how people should just live in general! I have to thank my daughter's school who supported us fully and allowed us to do what we believed was going to work for our family. I am so thankful have Sam, Davina, Hannah and the rest of the team in our lives and I will never be able to thank Sam enough for recovering my child from anxiety. Xxx
I have completed the anxious to awesome programme and now moving onto Evergreen. It’s been hard work with lots of ups and downs. We still have a long way to go with our daughter but the programme has given us an invaluable insight to anxiety and a structure to move forward. It’s hard to put into words what the formula offers but I would say that I felt very lost and helpless before I joined. I now feel empowered to support my daughter with the knowledge I have gained through the videos and zoom calls. I was sceptical when I first came across the programme on Facebook, but something about what Sam was saying resonated with me. I’m so glad that I signed up and only wished that I’d done it sooner.
So so pleased I came across this course! My daughter has suffered with anxiety from the age of 5 she is now 11! The program is split into different sections helping you as a parent understand anxiety first and getting you to take a step back before introducing your child. The difference we have seen in just a few weeks is priceless!! Sam and her team all really know there stuff and are always on hand to help! 😊
I found this course back in March but only committed four weeks ago and wish I had started sooner but better late than never. I have now completed the first section and getting ready to move to the next and introducing my children to the programme. The knowledge gained around anxiety has been comprehensive and the support through the zooms with Sam, Hannah and other parents invaluable. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by starting as you get a a full refund up to 14 days from your start date if you decide it’s not for you.
We have just finished the first part of the programme; Bumblebee and what a great learning curve it has been giving us a good understanding of anxiety. In just a few weeks of starting we have seen small changes in our own selves and our daughter. The adrenaline levels within our daughter are lowering which will stand us in good stead to move on to the next stage. This programme has given us hope and we look forward to having our happy and care free daughter back. The structure of the programme is great as allows you to work through the videos at your own pace and choose and attend zoom sessions at a time that suits with the coaches and others parents for support, guidance and reassurance. Thanks for the last few weeks and here’s to the next in the road to anxiety recovery for our beautiful daughter.
My 12-year-old son has struggled with anxiety for five years, resulting in school refusal. Despite numerous interventions from both school and independent therapists, nothing has worked. I discovered this youngvibes course, which has been incredibly insightful, providing the science and understanding behind his struggles and developing a formula that we have never encountered before. This course is not a quick fix and requires full immersion, determination, and dedication from parent/s. My son is now learning to recognise his anxiety and gain the tools to manage it, preventing it from dominating his future. I’m excited and hopeful to see him succeed with this program, after everything else has failed.
We came across this programme when we were desperately trying to help our daughter. She was bullied at school and refused to go. The first part, bumblebee, was a game changer in how we are as a family. The stress has lowered in our house which has already made a change in our daughter’s anxiety levels. We are eager to move on and help our daughter recover using this programme. I can’t recommend it enough.
We have recently completed the Bee portal which is for parents to understand anxiety and what the effects this has on the body. Having this time for just us, to understand it, not be so worried on what's going on for our daughter, understand and process the information has been great. The changes we have seen in our daughter and ourselves has been quite consistently progressive and really positive, we are sure more positives will continue to come. The Zoom's for parents have been very insightful, a space to be able to listen to others and realise the similarities of other people's situations, to listen to the advice given to others and ask questions and discuss what's going well and not so well. I have thoroughly enjoyed this part of the course.. and looking forward to our daughter joining the program.
We first heard of this program just over three weeks ago and signed up almost immediately. The course overview is so positively radical, in my opinion, that it would have be a missed opportunity had we not taken it up. Our home has become a lot calmer since joining the course and our daughter's adrenaline levels have reduced significantly! We continue to move through the course with ever increasing confidence and hope for our family's future, and only wish we'd found this course sooner. The staff and course material is amazing and the support that they provide is second to none. Thank you so much.
Amazing! We have just finished the first part of the programme and have learnt so much. Both my daughters suffer with anxiety and I have spent the last 3+ years believing nothing could be done as that is what CAHMS led me to believe. But after a few weeks on Bee we could very quickly see such a difference in not only them but us as well. We are so excited for the next stage and I feel so confident that they are going to get rid of anxiety for good.
My partner and I didn’t know what to expect when we found and turned to the ‘anxious to awesome’ programme. Our son has suffered from various degrees of anxiety and school refusal has become an issue. This programme has certainly helped us (as adults) and we are seeing a positive change in our son’s behaviour and self esteem. The online help, support and advice from Sam, Anne, Davina et al. is second to none. We are very much still on the recovery journey but feel completely confident that this programme is taking our son to a point where he is armed with everything he needs to become a fully functioning, happy and confident adult.
Do NOT make your decision based on other people's opinions- especially the negative ones! Their experience is not yours. This program is edgy and unconventional but it is working to change peoples lives for the better, including mine and my family's. I have seen miracles happen for so many families in this gorgeous, supportive, knowledgeable community. If you are here then you are considering this program because nothing has worked, you and your child are suffering terribly and you don't know what else to do (like the rest of us in here)! Don't let negative reviews steal this opportunity for you- TRY IT and decide for yourself. You will see that it is life changing and just what you are looking for.
So please I came across this programme, my daughter has suff ered with anxiety since she was 7 and never really understood the right way to help her until now. The knowledge you gain on this course is amazing and the team are there for youand give you so much support
This programme is amazing. It starts by giving us parents the knowledge regarding anxiety and how are child is feeling, the team are really easy to talk to

Aug 29,2024Before starting on the course, we where getting regular videos appear from Sam on our social media feeds. We then started to look further into the programme and even searched and analysed any available reviews. They were all glowing! Almost too good to be true. But, we were, (like everyone,, like you are) ready to try anything. And, it was all true! The whole team are brutally honest. The demand on a wholesom family investment isn’t easy, but it is worth it!!!! Our daughter is happy and confident again, me and my partner are happy and confident again. We have a way to go yet, but we are so much better equipped to face future challenges with the programme ,and its staff here to support us. A few words from our daughter; “I don’t care about other people’s opinions of me” “She tells you how it is!” - (ref. Sam) “I’m stronger!” Thank you for everything so far. Xx
