    Leggo My Ego Ft. Milton Vann

    Leggo My Ego Ft. Milton Vann

    In this conversation, LaToya and Milton Vann discuss the connection between anxiety and ego. They explore how pride can manifest as insecurity and contribute to feelings of anxiety. Milton shares his journey with anxiety and how he discovered the role of pride in his struggles.

    Takeaways

    Anxiety can be connected to ego and pride, as we often put unnecessary pressure on ourselves to meet certain expectations.
    Humbling ourselves and surrendering to God's plan can help alleviate anxiety and reduce the influence of ego.
    Valuing the journey and trusting in God's timing can help us overcome the anxiety caused by our timelines and expectations.
    Rehearsing and believing the truth of God's word can combat the lies and insecurities that contribute to anxiety. Rehearsing the truth and checking it against God's word helps discerning God's voice.
    Faith and patience are key in navigating the illusion of order and trusting God's timing.

    It's Been a Long Time Ya'll!

    It's Been a Long Time Ya'll!

    It’s been a long time but the new season of Analog Girl Podcast is finally here. Join me weekly as I talk about my evolution during my anxiety & depression healing journey.

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations about suicide if you are sensitive to this subject you might want to skip it.

    In today’s episode, I just wanted to catch yall up with where I have been and why I have been gone so long. I was deeply touched by the passing of fitness influencer Raven K. Jackson and the similarities we had in thoughts and emotions.

    In a nutshell I'm chatting about:


    Overcoming childhood trauma
    Giving yourself grace while overcoming
    Overcoming suicidal thoughts
    God’s unwavering faith

    Helpful Scriptures 

    "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

    “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7

    Suicide Prevention Resources:

    24/7 Crisis Hotline: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 988lifeline.org

    If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org. Veterans, press 1 when calling.

    Crisis Text Line Text TALK to 741-741 to text with a trained crisis counselor from the Crisis Text Line for free, 24/7

    About LaToya D:

    LaToya D. Newton is a quintessential Bronx girl, who is a healthy mix of Cardi B and Lena James, if you know you know. As the host of her own podcast The Analog Girl, LaToya shares her experiences with anxiety and her journey through recovery to emotional wellness. When LaToya is not raising awareness about anxiety as an advocate, a relaxing day for her is laughing at ridiculous memes on Instagram or watching episodes of 'A Different World'.
