Confessions Of A High Strung Woman With Abbi Walker Abbi Walker

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, how much you give- it never seems to be enough in your relationships? SAME girl. SAME. I spent my whole life giving and giving and then giving some more- I was going to find a way to make others happy- to be loved, to be safe, so that then maybe, just maybe- I could get to be happy too?But it was never enough.This then begs the question- "enough" for what?What are we trying to earn, prove, or make happen by giving so much?Women everywhere...

Exhaustion isn't a badge of honor, it's often a sign that something is really unhealthy. Growing up, I learned how to push myself to the limits- to outwork everyone, to sacrifice endlessly, and to value exhaustion. But then I started to crash hard and often and had to take a long look at my values and my habits.We as women work ourselves to the bone- but is that really serving us or our families? I'll give you a hint- NOPE.In this podcast we start the powerful conversation of learning ho...

This is a letter that I wrote to myself in a storm of insecurity and doubt. I wasn't sure if I should share it- but I decided to take the leap of faith to put it out there in case there might be a few others who struggle to hold onto themselves. The pressure on us as women is FIERCE, so a fierce response, filled with stout-hearted truth, needed to be written, at least for myself. Is it really better to be liked by them but not like me?

God created you and equipped you to SHAKE THINGS UP in the world He placed you- not to be like anyone else. This week...

For as long as I can remember- I have felt things deeply. I mean- I don't have little passing feelings- I have big, deep strong feelings that rattle my soul. I have strong reactions to things and a mind that often will not stop. I have a tiger that roars in my chest- and for most of my life, I believed it was a curse. I have been the walking definition of "High Strung" every day that I have lived- and it often caused me great pain, loss, and grief. But about a decade ago- God began a surprisi...

I am increasingly obsessed, completely fascinated with the concept of a grown-ass woman who has come into her own. She isn't anxious about earning the approval of others- that's the last thing on her mind. She wears what she wants, what makes her happy, and feels beautiful- and it looks like it was made for her.
