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.
