When you’re parenting a child with OCD or anxiety, life can start to feel like one long crisis response. You may find yourself constantly managing meltdowns, fears, compulsions—and feeling like there’s no room for rest, laughter, or lightness.

But even in the hard seasons, moments of peace and joy can exist.

In this episode, I’ll share:

• Why joy and connection aren’t signs you’re ignoring your child’s OCD or anxiety struggles
• Simple ways to notice and create space for micro-moments of peace
• How small joys can build resilience in you and your child
• What helped me (and many other parents) stop living in survival mode 24/7
• 
  

This isn’t toxic positivity—it’s survival with heart.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cristi Bundukamara—known as Dr. B—the founder of Mentally STRONG and creator of the Raising Mentally STRONG Kids program. We explore what it really means to build resilience, starting with her own journey through personal loss and what it taught her about mental strength.

Dr. B shares practical strategies parents can use to tap into their own resilience and model it for their children. We dive into what gets in the way of raising mentally strong kids and how to shift our perspective about self-care, self-compassion and our child’s mental health journey.
