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 waking up with a racing heart? Does being a mom intensify your worries and fears? You are in the right place! This podcast is designed to help women like you find freedom from anxiety, get access to resources that actually help you, NOT pacify you, and ultimately become a better, healthier YOU - and it all happens by changing how and what you think about consistently. Hi, I’m Ashanti. I suffered from major postpartum anxiety, that ultimately became chronic anxiety, for years. I would open my eyes to a racing heart, avoid eating any foods that triggered stomach problems, and lacked the peace to sustain me through life’s challenges. I tried everything from breathing techniques, to exercise, even meditation! But nothing I did gave me the steady, inner calm that I was searching for. Then, one day while googling “medication for anxiety,” I broke down and cried out, “God, I know you never meant for me to live like this!” From that moment, I knew that if I wanted to be free, I had to apply God’s word to my life and change my thinking to align with His. 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,  quiet your mind,  feel good physically again,  all while growing a deeper, spiritual connection with God,  This podcast is for you.  Grab your journal, sip some coffee,  and let there be peace.

    #106 | Can My Faith in God Really Help Me Stop Feeling Anxious? YES. Here's How to Activate It.

    Have you ever wondered why you feel anxious even though you believe in God? Do you question if faith is enough to move this mountain in your life? In this episode, I share the truth about faith's power over fear and the 3 steps to begin activating that power right now in your life. I open up about the moment the Holy Spirit interrupted my anxious prayer and challenged me to pray for what I actually believe, and how that led me to rethink what I was living my life by. One thing I've learned in faith, is that what you choose to think about is what you choose to become. There are three simple steps I still use today to live by faith instead of fear: Decide Make the choice right now to live by faith, not fear Define Come into agreement with God's word and define what you believe Declare Speak it out loud and write it down where you'll see it daily If you're still wondering if this will help you, let me give you a little dose of truth: Fear will fail you, but Jesus never will. If you're tired of panic attacks, racing thoughts, and constant worry, this episode gives you actionable steps to start walking in freedom today. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 5:7, Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" If you prayed the prayer of salvation with me today, share that in the comments or leave a review letting us know so we can celebrate with you!

    #105 | 8 Reasons You Should Stop Doomscrolling & Start Ending the Panic Attacks

    In this episode, I share my personal journey of overcoming daily panic attacks by making one major change: quitting social media. Three to four years ago, I was experiencing 8-10 panic attacks a day, struggling to think clearly, and feeling completely out of control. I realized that doom scrolling was consuming 4-5 hours of my day and filling my mind with content I couldn't control. I made the decision to delete all my social media profiles and start the process of renewing my mind according to biblical principles. The transformation was immediate and profound. To get out of panic mode, you must take inventory of what you're consuming mentally and align your thoughts with God's Word. The key Scripture for today's episode is Philippians 4:8, which comes right after the passage about being free from anxiety through prayer. It instructs us to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Listen, sis, this isn't a one-time fix; it's a daily lifestyle choice to continually renew your mind and maintain your peace and joy. Commit to this moment, quit doomscrolling, and start Bible scrolling instead!  Let's connect: Join the Facebook group to grow with your other sisters in Christ and me and don't forget to subscribe.  Sign up to get my weekly newsletter starting in February.

    #102 | 9 Lessons and Recap from The Girl, Stand UP Revival to Use for 2026

    Hey friends! I know it's been a minute, but I unintentionally took off two weeks to recoup and rest after the Revival. It was not in my plans, but it was in my needs, and I'm learning just how important that is. BUT, we are still going strong!  Today's episode is more than a recap - it's a full on vision board, goal planning, dream achieving lesson. I have seen the true power of obedience, the rewards of showing up, and learned how perfectionism is all about perspective. I am walking you through 9 lessons (plus a couple more) that I took away from this experience. We are going to chat about everything from faith works, to motherhood, to making plans with God, and so much more!  Get your notes because you will want to write down these 9 lessons to keep for yourself. If you plan on making a vision board, or forecasting your future with God, you'll want to refer back to this episode while you do it. I believe this episode is going to inspire you to say yes to God, give you some wisdom for the new year, and encourage you to stay the course of faith. You ready? Let's go!  _______________________________________ Have a question for the show? Ask us here.  Want Ashanti to be a guest on your podcast? Need a speaker for your next event?

    We did it sis! We are here at the final phase of our series learning how to use faith to beat chronic anxiety.  James 4:16 says "Faith without works is dead." Meaning, if we don't DO what we say we believe, our faith is not effective! But, did you know that when you put action behind your faith, you increase your faith?! 🤯 Over the last 3 weeks, we have talked about how to implement small steps into your daily life to go from anxious to peaceful. Now, all that remains is for you to do what you have learned. This is the part where you take control of your anxiety, by acting on your faith. And the key to it all working properly, is consistency!  I'm rooting for you, praying that you find the courage to take action on what you believe, and that you keep showing up every single day. Just like in basketball - even when you miss all the shots, showing up is what counts.
