In this episode, Shaan and Partha open up about anxiety—what it feels like, why it happens, and how kids can recognize it in their own lives. They talk about how anxiety isn’t just “being nervous,” but a real mind-body experience that can affect focus, sleep, and even physical health.

Key Topics Covered

What is Anxiety?

The Bros explain anxiety as the body’s alarm system. Sometimes it helps (like before a test or a game), but other times it gets stuck “on” even when there’s no real danger.

Everyday Examples

They share how kids might feel anxious about starting a new school year, meeting new friends, or performing in sports. They explain how anxiety shows up—like a racing heart, sweaty palms, or feeling like you can’t breathe.

Back-to-School Stress

Partha and Shaan connect anxiety to back-to-school time, when many kids feel pressure about fitting in, keeping up with homework, or dealing with change. They talk about how it’s normal to feel this way, and that it doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you.

Coping Strategies

They offer practical ideas that work for them:

Talking to a parent, teacher, or friend

Taking slow deep breaths

Breaking big tasks into smaller steps

Moving your body with sports or play

Remembering you’re not alone

Takeaway Message

Anxiety is common, and it doesn’t define you. Talking about it is the first step to taking away its power. The Nandi Bros remind listeners that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.
