    #134 | Sick of Trying to “Pray It Away”? Try This Faith-Based Method Instead

    Have you been praying for your anxiety to go away and still waking up feeling the same? I've been there. In today's episode, I'm opening up about a season in my life when I was struggling to hold onto my faith while managing panic attacks, a new marriage, motherhood, and a world turned upside down by COVID. If your prayers feel unanswered, this episode is for you. We're diving into a two-part, scripture-backed formula from Philippians 4:6-8 that changed everything for me. And it's not just prayer. It's what you're thinking after you pray that makes all the difference. In this episode, we cover: Why your prayers are being heard, even when nothing seems to change The missing piece most of us skip when praying about anxiety How to pray with supplication and thanksgiving (and why it matters) The "think on these things" principle and how to actually apply it Scripture references: 1 John 5:14-15 | Philippians 4:6-8 | Matthew 7:7 Free Beta Coaching Program: If you're ready to stop panic attacks for good using practical, faith-based tools, I'm looking for women to join my brand-new beta program, completely free!

    #133 | The Secret to Staying Calm as an Overwhelmed Mom When Everyone Needs You

    Summer is here, and if you're anything like me, the second those kids walked through the door on the last day of school, your mind started racing at 100 miles per hour. Laundry. Activities. Meals. Schedules. Keeping the peace. Keeping yourself together. I get it, sis, because I lived it on day ONE of summer break, and let me tell you, it did not go perfectly. But here's what I want you to hear today: the secret to staying calm as an overwhelmed mom isn't a perfect schedule or an Instagram-worthy summer bucket list. It's a choice. In this episode, I'm sharing what happened on my very first morning of summer — the chaos, the screaming, the tension in my shoulders mid-workout — and the moment my husband and I just laughed instead of losing it. That one choice changed the entire trajectory of our day (and honestly, our whole summer mindset). Don't go through summer break anxious and overwhelmed.

    #131 | 3 Truths About Anxiety & Why “Just Have Faith” Isn’t Helping (Yet)

    If you've ever Googled "why does my anxiety not go away even though I have faith," you're in the right place. Being a believer and still struggling with anxiety and panic attacks can feel like a contradiction. You love God. You read your Bible. You pray. So why is the anxiety still there? Why does "just trust God" feel impossible when your heart is racing and your mind won't stop? You are not alone — and you are not failing at your faith. In this episode of the Get Free From Anxiety podcast, I'm opening up a conversation that the church doesn't always have: what it actually takes to overcome anxiety as a Christian. I'm sharing three truths about faith and anxiety that are often left out of the conversation, and they completely changed how I approach my own healing. If that's something you need, keep listening!  Be in my FREE Beta Coaching Program!  I want to personally invite you to join my free beta program, Get a Grip — a step-by-step course designed to help you stop panic attacks, renew your mind, and walk in the peace God promised you.

    If you've been living with anxiety so long that it's started to feel like a personality trait — like maybe this is just who you are now — I want you to know that I understand that feeling more than you know. There was a time when I used to wake up every single day wishing I could go back to being 12 years old, carefree, unafraid, with nobody's problems on my shoulders. I had forgotten what it felt like to just be — to not be waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Now, I've found out who I really am. And I learned that anxiety is not my identity. In this episode, I'm walking you through the three steps that helped me drop the anxious identity and step into who God actually called me to be. This isn't a magic pill or an overnight fix — these are the stepping stones that can bring you out of anxiety and forward into your purpose and calling.

    #129 | Enough Overthinking Already! Get in Control of Your Mind with 2 Easy Hacks

    If you've ever felt like your mind is on a hamster wheel — spinning, spiraling, going and going with no off switch — this episode is for you. Overthinking is one of the sneakiest ways anxiety gets a foothold in our lives. As women, we've practically been conditioned to do it. We replay conversations, catastrophize situations, and exhaust ourselves before anything has even happened. And the worst part? The more we try to think our way out of it, the deeper we go. I've been there. I was there just this past weekend. My feelings got hurt by someone I love, and I found myself spiraling — questioning my value, my worth, wondering what I did wrong. That overthinking cycle is real, and it can take you down fast if you don't have the right tools to interrupt it. That's exactly what this episode is about. I'm sharing the two simple, Bible-based hacks I use every single time I find myself caught in an overthinking spiral. These aren't complicated. They don't cost money. You don't need a new app, a new routine, or a fancy system. You just need to be willing to do the work, and I promise, it's not as hard as you think. These tools have helped me go from emotionally unstable, unfocused, and spiraling… to grounded, clear, and at peace. And they can do the same for you. If you're tired of anxiety stealing your focus, your sleep, and your joy... if you're ready for a faith-first approach that actually works, this episode will give you a practical, powerful starting point.

    #128 | Why You Can’t Seem to Relax and How Boundaries Will Turn Things Around as a Christian Woman

    Let's talk, sis. I know what it's like to wake up feeling already behind, to move through your whole day without a single breath, and to fall into bed at night still carrying everything. I know what it's like to want to rest and somehow feel guilty about it at the same time. That's exactly why I needed to have this conversation with you. In this episode of Get Free From Anxiety, we're talking about something so many of us are walking through quietly — that invisible pressure to keep going, keep producing, keep showing up for everyone else while your own cup runs dry. We're unpacking where that relentless drive really comes from, because I'll be the first to tell you: a lot of the time, it's not someone else pushing us. It's us. And once we see that, everything changes. We're also diving into the power of boundaries — not as a trendy self-care buzzword, but as a genuine, God-honoring tool that can give you your peace back. As a Christian woman, as a mom, as someone who has been there, I want to walk you through practical steps to help you finally slow down, breathe, and be still before God. Because sis, rest is not laziness. Rest is not irresponsible. Rest is something Jesus himself practiced, and you are allowed to follow in His footsteps. This episode is full of real, actionable takeaways to help you: Identify what's quietly stealing your mental energy every single day Start saying no without the guilt Create space in your life for true rest,  without everything falling apart Use your faith as your foundation for the boundaries you set And yes, I'm walking through scripture with you too, because God's Word has something powerful to say about all of this. If you've been running on empty, feeling like you can't turn your brain off, or wondering why relaxing actually feels impossible for you, then press play!  Don't forget: I have a free 30-minute training video linked below where I walk you through my three-step process for replacing anxious thoughts with new ones, rooted in God's Word. It comes with a worksheet, it's completely free, and it's a game-changer. Go grab it! https://getfreefromanxiety.myflodesk.com/egworkshop

    #127 | Anxiety: The Basics and How to Take Control Even With a Busy Life

    Do you ever find yourself dreading the day before it even begins? Have you been pushing through life on the outside while something heavy is quietly taking over on the inside? And what if the answer to what you've been carrying has been written down for you all along? I used to think I was just a nervous person. For years, I carried this weight without a name for it, until a trip to the ER and a late-night Google search changed everything. But even more life-changing than that label? Discovering what God's Word says about it, and how He already gave us everything we need to overcome it. In this episode, I'm taking it back to the basics. We're talking about what anxiety actually is, why naming it is the first step to breaking its power over you, and what Philippians 4:6-8 has to say about taking control of a mind that feels out of control. If you're a busy mom, a single person running in every direction, or someone who's quietly struggling behind a smile — this one is for you. You don't have to keep waking up feeling weighed down. There is a way forward — and it starts in His Word!  Freebie alert!  This free training teaches 3 simple, faith-based steps to help you change anxious thinking, interrupt panic attacks, and regain control of your mind.
