In this conversation of Resilient Parenting, Dr. Kate Lund is joined by Cali Werner, an expert in helping kids and families manage anxiety and OCD, to explore how to help anxious athletes thrive. Cali shares her personal journey of navigating severe OCD while competing at an elite level, and together they explore the dangers of "survival mode," the importance of emotional regulation after a loss, and how parents can move from accommodating anxiety to fostering true independence for anxious athletes. This is an empowering conversation on moving beyond mere functioning to find genuine freedom and resilience in both sports and life.
