*Top 10% Global Ranked Podcast! Is anxiety a persistent struggle for you? Do you feel constantly triggered, even when nothing is causing it? Do you love God, but question if that is enough to stop the panic attacks? You are in the right place! This podcast is designed to help women like you find freedom from anxiety through faith-based solutions, real conversations with real women, and step-by-step anxiety strategies. Hi, I’m Ashanti, founder and host of the Get Free From Anxiety podcast. For years, I suffered from major postpartum anxiety, that ultimately became chronic anxiety. I would open my eyes to a racing heart, avoid eating any foods that triggered stomach problems, and had panic attacks multiple times a day. I tried everything from breathing techniques, to exercise, even meditation! But nothing I did gave me the freedom that I was searching for. Then, one day while googling medications for anxiety, I remembered something: God never meant for me to live like this! From that moment on, I knew that if I wanted to be free, I needed to partner with Him, revive my faith, and start renewing my mind.  God showed me His plan for peace, and I’ve been living in it ever since. Now, I’m sharing it with you. If you want to have the ability to: silence anxiety,  stop having panic attacks,  feel good physically again,  all while growing a deeper, closer connection with God,  This podcast is for you.

    #115 | The Prayer That Led Me to Freedom From Anxiety - Come to My Workshop

    Do you know what it feels like to wake up every day gripped by anxiety and fear, wondering if it will ever end? Do you also feel God calling you out of this, but don't really know how to get started?  In this episode, I'm sharing my "shower story" where the prayer that changed everything for me happened. It was in this moment, that God showed me I was praying out of fear. When the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "Pray for what you believe," it shifted my entire perspective. I realized that I had been so consumed by anxiety that I forgot to ask God for what I actually wanted! If you've been dealing with this same issue, today I'm sharing three simple steps that helped me plant my mustard seed of faith and walk out of that dark season. It's the end of March, and Resurrection week. What better time to say "yes" to God's invitation to transform your life?  With this in mind, I want to invite you to my free workshop, Free Yourself from Anxiety, happening April 30th at 11 AM CST on Facebook Live. I will be teaching you how to replace anxious thoughts with faith-based ones so you can step into the calling God has for your life. No cost, no catch. Just show up and let's do this together.  Register now for the LIVE workshop, and let's dive in!  Don't Forget!  Sign up for my free LIVE Facebook workshop! https://getfreefromanxiety.myflodesk.com/anxietyfreeworkshop

    #114 | Struggling with Fear of the Unknown? Overcome It With This ONE Powerful Change. SO EASY!

    Life has a way of catching us off guard. Job loss, betrayal, health scares, broken relationships.... I know what it feels like when the unexpected knocks the wind right out of you. And I know what it's like to let anxiety convince you that if you can't control it, you need to prepare for the worst.  In this episode, I'm sharing a simple and powerful mindset shift that completely changed how I respond when things go wrong. It's the same shift that helped me break free from daily panic attacks, and I believe it can do the same for you. God designed you to be powerful, loving, and sound. Yet, fear of "what if" will hold us back, always saying no to good things, and overthinking ourselves into insomnia. No more of this! Jesus said "I've come that you might have life, and life more abundantly." How freely abundant does your life feel right now? Are you ready to change it? I've got you, friend! We are done living in fear of the unknown. It's time to take your power back! (2 Timothy 1:7) If this resonated with you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend who needs to hear it. And if you're ready for deeper work, come join me in my upcoming workshop where I walk you through the four phases God gave me to master anxiety.

    #111 | Is It Possible to Stop Being Anxious? How to Ignite Your Faith To Overcome It In 3 Steps

    Can I be real with you for a second? I know what it's like to wake up with your heart already racing. To feel like anxiety has become so much a part of you that you can't even remember what peace feels like. To wonder if freedom is actually possible or if you're just stuck like this forever. I spent years in that exact place. Juggling a full-time job, a struggling marriage, two kids under five, and postpartum anxiety that made every single day feel impossible. The panic attacks felt endless. And honestly, I thought this was just my life now. But here's what I want you to know: I'm on the other side of it now. No panic attacks. Sleeping through the night. Actually enjoying my coffee instead of chugging it between anxiety spirals. And I'm not special. If I found the way out, so can you. In this episode, I'm sharing with you: Why you don't have to accept anxiety as your new normal, even when the world feels like it's on fire The moment everything shifted for me (spoiler: it started with one simple thought while having a panic attack in my car) What Jesus sleeping through a literal storm teaches us about finding peace when everything around you is chaos Why you have to believe freedom is possible before you actually see it happen The exact three steps I used to start my journey out of anxiety and how you can use them today Your situation doesn't have to change for you to change. Life is still "life-ing" since I overcame anxiety and the world is still chaotic. But I'm different now, and that makes all the difference.  If you're tired of living in fear, tired of the stomach aches and racing thoughts, tired of anxiety controlling what you do and how you do it, this episode is for you.

    #113 | Feeling Anxious About Your Future? Ground Yourself With These 4 Trust Building Bible Verses

    Do you feel anxious when you think about your future? You say to yourself, I know God is in control, and I know I can’t control the future, but I’m still anxious about it. What if I told you that this is not an indicator of your faith in God, but your trust in God?  I know what it feels like to lie awake at night, heart racing, overwhelmed by my own thoughts about the future. If you're struggling with anxiety as a Christian and wondering why you can't just "pray it away," I want you to know that you're not alone! Sometimes we believe in Him but still struggle to fully rely on Him, especially after life throws us something painful and unexpected. I've been there. I battled chronic panic attacks every single day, and I know how isolating and confusing that season can be. But God met me in it, and He wants to meet you in yours too. This episode is going to give you some honest, tough love. It was my own personal parenting moment that completely shifted how I see God's heart for us when hard things happen. Spoiler: being a believer doesn't give us a pass from pain, but it does give us a Shepherd who walks us through it. 4 Bible Verses to Overcome Anxiety About the Future: Proverbs 3:5 — Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Jeremiah 29:11 — For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord — plans to prosper you, not to harm you, to give you hope and a future. Hebrews 12:2 — Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Philippians 1:6 — He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. If you're walking through a hard season right now and need someone to pray with you, I would be honored. Sign up for my emails below and send me a message. I'm here for you!

    #110 | Why Praying More Hasn’t Stopped Your Panic Attacks & What God Wants You To Do Differently

    Have you been praying for peace, asking God to take away your panic attacks, and still not seeing an end? Do you trust God, yet find yourself stuck in anxiety anyway? If you have cried out to God for relief but nothing seems to be changing, we are going to unpack why that might be happening and what God wants you to do differently!  In today’s conversation, we speak directly to the Christian woman who is doing everything she knows to do spiritually, yet still feels trapped in anxiety.  You will hear how panic attacks often manifest physically, why they can feel overwhelming and unpredictable, and what Scripture actually says to do about it. You will also get two easy steps to start implementing the Bible's instructions for peace right now.  It is my hope and prayer that this conversation will challenge you to put action to your faith and encourage you to try God's way! Peace, my friend.  Key Scripture References: Matthew 6:33 1 John 5:14–15 Romans 12:2 Philippians 4:6–8 James 2:26 Hebrews 11:6 Ephesians 4:23 Connect With Me Join my Facebook community!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/getfreefromanxiety Sign up for my weekly emails!  https://getfreefromanxiety.myflodesk.com/newsletter This podcast is intended for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

    #109 | Why Am I Still Anxious If I Trust God? The Real Reason Why and How To Fix It

    #108 | Self Care is Self Love - 3 Stress Relieving Gifts to Give Yourself This Weekend (Free and Easy!)

    Have you ever felt like you were pouring from an empty cup? Do you wish someone would give even half of what you give out, back to you?  Well, I can't promise a knight-in-shining-armor, but I can speak to your soul and show you how to refill your cup through self care!  In this episode, I share how to refill your cup through biblical self-care and give you three practical gifts you can give yourself this Valentine's Day weekend. One lesson I have learned over the years is that if you don't love yourself you can lose yourself. Jesus said that one of the greatest commandments is to "love others as you love yourself." In order to fulfill this command and show up as the best version of us, we have to be willing to pour back into ourselves from time to time. Even Jesus needed time away to regroup!  Let today's lesson inspire you to take care of your star player so you can ditch the anxiety and overwhelm, and embrace a better Y.O.U. Remember: How can you love your neighbor if you don't love yourself first? (Mark 12:31) Key Scripture References: Mark 12:31 Mark 6:31-32 Isaiah 43:19 Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Your Homework:  I challenge you to choose one of these gifts this weekend and be intentional about showing up for yourself. You deserve it!
