Anxiety Creates Barriers for Kids and Teens
Discover tools that transform their anxiety into resilience and confidence.
We've put together a 3-step action plan...
that’s going to get you started immediately transforming worry and anxiety for your family. But first, I want to share something important.
When we talk about anxiety, we're not ONLY talking about anxiety.
We like to say anxiety is like an iceberg. On the surface, it shows up any number of ways: Repetitive questions; Disruptive behavior; Lack of focus or motivation; Not sleeping at night; Sometimes it’s outright anger.
At GoZen!, we know your family's anxiety experience is challenging. But we're not here to just "fix" behavior. It's our mission to dive beneath the surface to the source, and provide real, meaningful relief for every child.
3-Step Resilience Action Plan
It’s time to start a meaningful conversation with your kids, and we’ve got the tools to help. Watch these videos together, and don’t forget to check out the worksheets! Remember - this is just the beginning!
Step 1: Discover why we worry
Science tells us that worrying is actually a good thing. As you’ll find out in this clip from our animated programs, it’s helped humans survive for thousands of years!
Learning the "why" of worry can completely change young people's perspective on their thoughts and feelings.
Step 2: Recognize the "worry runaround"
Our worry thoughts cause uncomfortable feelings. Those feelings often lead to reactions or behaviors we're not proud of. Those behaviors can cause events that create more worry thoughts, and now we're trapped in an anxiety loop.
As you'll see in this clip from our teen-led courses, recognizing how we get stuck in the "worry runaround" is vital to anxiety transformation.

Meet Renee Jain
Founder and Chief Storyteller at GoZen!, NYT bestselling co-author of Superpowered, certified life coach, University of Pennsylvania MAPP graduate, resilience expert, co-host of the Dear Anxiety and Dear Anger podcasts, and mom of two.
Hi there! I’m Renee Jain.
As a kid, I used to be super anxious. It took me 10+ years and a visit to the ER for what I thought to be a heart attack in my 20s to realize that all my unprocessed feelings led my body to shut down.
Since then, I’ve studied every methodology of healing, yoga, meditation, tapping, and traditional psychology. But it wasn’t until I discovered positive psychology, the study of well-being, that I felt my purpose come to life.
My mission with GoZen! is to teach 1 million kids around the world how to become emotionally resilient. This is why we create science-backed resources and animated programs, giving kids (and their parents!) the emotional education I wish I had growing up.
So I am absolutely thrilled that you’re here!
Because no matter what kind of support you need, knowing you’re not alone in this often challenging journey can be life-changing.
And this first step you took just moments ago is only the beginning.
With all my love and gratitude,
Renee
