  • A Parent’s Story — Why Every Family Should Know First Aid
    Jun 17 2026

    When Sarah Stuebe's son Oscar collapsed during a baseball game, she did what no parent ever imagines having to do, she performed CPR on her own child.

    In this episode, Sarah shares her powerful story of the day everything changed, and what she's done since to make sure other families are prepared. Joining the conversation is Karen McCandless, CRNP, a cardiac nurse practitioner at Nemours Children's Health, who breaks down commotio cordis, how to recognize cardiac arrest in a child, and why every parent and coach should know CPR.

    Together, they offer a message that is equal parts urgent and reassuring: awareness saves lives, and it starts with you.

  • Anxiety in Youth & the Challenges It Brings to Families
    May 27 2026

    Why are so many kids more anxious than ever, and what can parents actually do about it?

    In this episode, ESF Co-Founder Michael Rouse sits down with Dr. Muniya Khanna, clinical psychologist, founder & director of the OCD and Anxiety Institute and one of the country's leading voices on childhood anxiety, for an honest conversation about raising emotionally healthy kids in a world built on comparison and pressure. They get into the warning signs most parents miss, the habits that accidentally feed anxiety, and why your child's worth was never meant to rest on their achievement.

    Dr. Khanna shares her framework for a grounded family life, the four Ps: People, Purpose, Perspective, and Pursuit, and the simple shift toward facing challenges head-on instead of avoiding them. It's the language, the tools, and the encouragement to build a family life full of MaxJoy.
