    #148 | Feeling Burnout, Mama? Here's How to Calm Your Mind and Regulate Your Emotions in the Moment with Mitch Blackford

    I am so excited for today's episode, because I've got someone special with me — Mitch, the host of Faithful Mama Rising. Mitch talks to overwhelmed moms about mom life, marriage, and identity, and let me tell you, our conversation today is one you are not going to want to miss. We get real about what it actually feels like when motherhood hits you, that emotional overwhelm nobody really prepares you for, and Mitch shares her own story (funny and inspiring) of the moment everything clicked for her. She walks us through simple, practical tools to face that overwhelm, release shame without letting it control you, and even bring a little playfulness back into the hardest moments. If you've ever felt like you're barely keeping it together, or like the mom you imagined being and the mom you feel like some days just don't match up — this episode is going to feel like a warm hug and a permission slip all in one. So grab your coffee, get comfortable, and let's dive into this fun and hilarious conversation with the wonderful Mitch Blackford.  Connect with Mitch!  Listen to her podcast, Faithful Mama Rising: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faithful-mama-rising-i-overwhelm-mindset-marriage-faith/id1723768557 Join her Facebook community Mindset for Moms and Marriage: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mindsetformomsandmarriage Sign up for her insider's list at: faithfulmamarising.com/insiders.

    #147 | How to Trust God When You Feel Extremely Overwhelmed - The Gentle Reminder You Definitely Need

    Can I be honest with you? For years I believed that having anxiety meant I didn't trust God enough; like my panic attacks were proof my faith wasn't strong enough. If you've ever felt that same shame, this episode is for you. In this one, I'm digging into what it really means to trust God when anxiety feels louder than your faith, why "fear" is really just false evidence trying to convince you of things that aren't true, and the one shift in perspective that completely changed how I show up in my own hard seasons.  Spoiler: The Holy Spirit showed up during this recording and gently reminded me of something I've been missing. I may have edited out some crying moments. Because... cringe. LOL If you've been praying, seeking, and doing "all the things" but still feel like nothing's working, press play. I think this one might shift something in you. In this episode: Why anxiety doesn't mean you don't trust God What it means to "lift" and "lower" your shield of faith The difference between what fear says and what faith says A perspective shift that changed how I see my own hard seasons A sneak peek at Thursday's conversation with my special guest If this episode blessed you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it, and leave a review. It means the world to me. See you Thursday!

    #146 | How to Stop Anxiously Self-Sabotaging And Move Forward With Your Life (2 Simple Steps)

    Hey sis! In this episode, I'm getting real about something I used to struggle with for years: letting anxiety make every single decision for me — even the tiny ones. I share a few embarrassing (and honestly kind of funny) stories about moments I let fear steal my joy, and I open up about how I finally started breaking free using faith instead of worry. We dig into scripture together, including a powerful lesson from Nehemiah 8:10 and a story about an elephant that completely changed how I think about the "chains" that hold us back. I walk you through the two simple steps that helped me start choosing joy over anxiety — and I think they might just do the same for you. If you've ever talked yourself out of something good because fear got in the way, this episode is your permission slip to say yes and show up anyway. Grab your coffee and journal, and let's get into it. In this episode: Why anxiety loves to "help" you make decisions and why you shouldn't let it A faith-based perspective on freedom from fear and worry The two simple steps to start choosing joy today Real talk and real encouragement for your week ahead Tune in for this week's pep talk, and don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs to hear it too! I used to feel stuck googling anxiety remedies at 2am, cycling through the same panic attacks with no real relief until God walked me through a plan that finally broke the cycle for good. In this episode of the Get Free From Anxiety podcast, I'm opening up about my own years-long battle with anxiety and panic attacks (we're talking multiple attacks a day), and the faith-based framework — I call it "Get a GRIP" — that helped me find lasting peace without medication or a therapist. We talk about: Why so many believers feel shame around struggling with anxiety, and why that shame is a lie What Romans 12:2 really means when it says "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" Why faith without action won't move the needle on anxiety The four-step GRIP method that helped me go from years of panic attacks to freedom in just a few months If you're tired of fighting anxiety the same old way and ready to try God's way instead, this episode is for you. Grab your journal, your coffee, and let's get into it.

    #144 | Stop Surviving & Start Living: 3 Questions to Help You Reconnect With Joy Again!

    I'm sharing something a little different this week: a clip straight from my beta course, where I get real about a phrase we've all heard a million times- "protecting your peace" -and why I actually don't believe in it. Oof. I know.  We talk about the difference between hiding from discomfort and actually living through it. I open up about my own struggles with anxiety and food, share a personal (and honestly kind of funny) story about rediscovering joy in the kitchen, and walk through a simple exercise to help you reconnect with the things anxiety has quietly talked you out of. If you've been surviving instead of living, this one's for you. Grab your journal — you'll want to take notes on this!

    #143 | How to NOT Pass Down Anxiety To Your Kids (Even If You Struggle with It) with Coach & Counselor Kristen Phillips M.S.Ed.

    Do you ever catch yourself trying to "fix" everything for your kid, only to feel like they're pulling further away from you?

If either of those hits close to home, this episode is for you. I brought on my friend Kristen Phillips, a Christian teen anxiety coach and high school counselor, for a conversation that honestly wrecked me in the best way. We got real about the pressure moms carry, the pressure teens carry, and the stuff nobody really talks about out loud in church.

    #142 | How to Stop Fearing Your Next Panic Attack & Heal Them Instead

    You guys know my story. I used to have four to five panic attacks every single day, and I've learned a lot on the other side of that. One of the biggest things I've learned is that the way we think about panic attacks is actually a huge part of why they keep happening. And once I understood that, everything started to change. In this episode, I'm teaching you the two core things you need to understand if you want to stop the cycle of panic attacks for good. I walk you through what's actually going on when panic attacks keep repeating, why your baby faith is more powerful than you think, and what God's Word has to say about renewing your mind in a way that is practical and makes real sense for your healing. If you're ready to stop the cycle and be free, press play!  Scriptures referenced: 2 Corinthians 5:7 · Luke 17:5-6 · Ephesians 4:22 · Philippians 4:6-7 Also mentioned: Episode 141 — How to Retrain Your Mind in 4 Simple Steps Let's connect: Leave a review on Apple Podcasts and share what's helping you >>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-free-from-anxiety-panic-attack-anxious-overwhelmed/id1704749889 Sign up for my weekly newsletter! >> https://getfreefromanxiety.myflodesk.com/newsletter Join the Anxiety Support Group for Christian Women >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/getfreefromanxiety

    #141 | Retrain Your Mind So You Can Live Without Constant Anxiety in 4 Steps

    Okay, let's be real for a second. You didn't ask for anxiety. It just showed up one day and decided to move in like a roommate nobody invited. And if you're anything like I was, you've spent way too many days wishing it would just leave you alone. The good news? You actually have the power to get rid of it. And in this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to do that through four steps, all rooted in the Word of God, and honestly so practical you can start today. Here's what you need to understand first: anxiety is driven by your thoughts, and your thoughts are repetitive. Your brain has something called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) (I like to call it the office manager of your mind.) It takes in whatever you feed it and keeps handing it back to you. So if you've been feeding it fear and panic and worry, that's exactly what it keeps producing. But here's the thing, you get to decide what goes in. Tune in to hear all four steps, sis! They're simple, they're practical, and they work. I promise you, you don't want to miss this one. Scriptures Mentioned For You To Study Later: Romans 12:2 Romans 8:6 Proverbs 23:7  Jeremiah 29:11 Psalm 34:19  Mark 11:24 Philippians 4:8 Matthew 19:26  Hebrews 10:25 (implied reference to not forsaking gathering together) Let's Get Cloosseerrr (in my Neyo voice): Leave a review on Apple Podcasts and share what's helping you : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-free-from-anxiety-panic-attack-anxious-overwhelmed/id1704749889 Sign up for our weekly faith note! https://getfreefromanxiety.myflodesk.com/newsletter Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/getfreefromanxiety
