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.
