Hi Parents!
In this episode, we're unpacking the realities of OCD and the overlap it has with anxiety, especially how intrusive thoughts can impact your teen's daily life. While everyone experiences intrusive thoughts from time to time, for those with OCD, these thoughts can feel overwhelming and distressing, often leading to compulsive behaviors. I’ll be discussing how to recognize the signs of OCD, its connection to anxiety, and the importance of normalizing these experiences.
Tune in to discover effective strategies to support your teen in managing their thoughts and emotions. We’ll explore how you can help them understand that thoughts are just thoughts — neurons firing in the brain — and that they don't define who they are. By fostering this awareness, you can empower your teen to navigate their experiences with confidence and resilience.
Whether you’re trying to differentiate between typical thoughts and those indicative of OCD or seeking ways to provide support, this episode will equip you with valuable insights and tools.

Hi Parents!
In this episode, we’re diving into the differences between high-functioning anxiety and a Type A personality in teens. It’s easy to confuse the two since both can show up as high-achieving and driven, but high-functioning anxiety hides an inner struggle with constant fear and self-doubt. I’ll be breaking down how you can spot the signs of high-functioning anxiety and what makes it unique from a naturally Type A mindset.
Tune in to learn practical ways to help your teen navigate their anxiety and encourage self-compassion. We’ll also explore how addressing high-functioning anxiety early on can prevent deeper emotional challenges, like burnout or depression. By understanding this distinction, you can better support your teen in achieving success without anxiety as the driving force behind their accomplishments.
Whether you’re unsure if your teen’s drive is healthy or masking anxiety, this episode will help you recognize the signs and provide support where it’s needed.
