  1. Anxiety in Youth & the Challenges It Brings to Families

    Anxiety in Youth & the Challenges It Brings to Families

    Why are so many kids more anxious than ever, and what can parents actually do about it? In this episode, ESF Co-Founder Michael Rouse sits down with Dr. Muniya Khanna, clinical psychologist, founder & director of the OCD and Anxiety Institute and one of the country's leading voices on childhood anxiety, for an honest conversation about raising emotionally healthy kids in a world built on comparison and pressure. They get into the warning signs most parents miss, the habits that accidentally feed anxiety, and why your child's worth was never meant to rest on their achievement. Dr. Khanna shares her framework for a grounded family life, the four Ps: People, Purpose, Perspective, and Pursuit, and the simple shift toward facing challenges head-on instead of avoiding them. It's the language, the tools, and the encouragement to build a family life full of MaxJoy.
