The Go-To Podcast for Christian moms battling anxiety!
**Top 5% Globally-Ranked Podcast**
Are you constantly triggered by the chaos of motherhood?
Do you wonder if the constant overstimulation will ever stop?
Are you ready to stop feeling like a “bad mom” and believe you’re actually a great one?
I am so excited you're here! This podcast will help you learn to heal your nervous system so you can stop the angry outbursts, find calm amidst the chaos, and finally feel like the amazing mama you already are!
Hey, I’m Rachel, work from home mom to 2 littles under 5, wife, and Jesus follower. For years, I tried to control my anxiety disorder through breathwork, therapy, and self-care. But no matter what I tried, it didn’t address the root of my problem – a taxed out nervous system that was running on empty.
I finally realized that to calm my nervous system I had to meet its basic needs – nutrient-dense food, movement that calmed instead of stressed, true rest, and a mindset focused on the healing power of Jesus.
I created a simple, strategic plan that fit me. Steps I could consistently stick to even amidst the chaos of motherhood. I learned how to eat nourishing food consistently even when my kiddos were constantly interrupting me. I discovered how to have deep, restful sleep – even with babies waking me up throughout the night. And I figured out how to ground myself in the TRUTH of God’s word instead of the LIES in my head.
I built a lifestyle that finally stopped the overwhelm and got back to the basics – even with the crazy schedule I have as a working mom. And I’m ready to share it with you!
If you are ready to finally manage your anxiety with a simple holistic plan that is built for busy moms...
If you are ready to experience:
not having mom rage during your toddler’s 67th tantrum,
your husband seeing the playful, fun side of his wife again, and
true confidence in your motherhood because your value comes from Jesus
this podcast is for you!
So grab that sparkling water and a spot in the sunshine – it’s time to heal, mama!

75 // Feeling Out of Control? 3 Anxiety Bible Verses to Help You Surrender
Sometimes the feeling of control gives us a false sense of peace. Or maybe the lack thereof is convincing you that if you could JUST get your kids to listen, your husband to help you more around the house, and your boss to stop demanding so much that things would be so much easier.
When the anxiety disorder is in full force, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking controlling more equals less stress. But the truth is, you can't ACTUALLY control anything. And often that desire for control is what is leading to the emotional dysregulation, the outbursts, and the motherhood overwhelm.
The good news is--you CAN'T control anything BUT you serve a really great God who is not only IN control but cares tremendously about you, your life, and how things are going. He is intimately involved and wants you to surrender those things to him, so you can finally take that true rest he offers.
So today, I'm sharing 3 anxiety bible verses to help remind you why God is trustworthy and how surrendering to him makes it that much easier to embrace calm motherhood.
So grab a sparkle water and maybe your Bible and let's dive in mama.
blessings,
Rach

73 // Why Your Anxiety Is Triggered By Your Child Crying and How To Overcome It
Ever wonder why the sound of your child crying or that toddler tantrum triggers your mom anxiety so badly? Did you know that the biology and neurology of your brain can explain why?
Today I'm helping you understand what is actually happening in your brain when you hear your child crying. Because when you understand what is happening, you are able to help calm the immediate anger and frustration that wells up in you when you hear it and actually show up effectively in those moments to hold space for your little's emotions instead of escalating the emotional charge.
The mom rage and mom anxiety is so common when it comes to hearing crying--but it's not exactly how you're designed to operate. As a Christian working mom, understanding how God designed you to function will enable you to make some simple changes to actually start managing your emotions and stop the emotional outbursts. You will finally be able to show up grounded and calm when all the crying starts!
So grab a refreshing bevvie, and let's dive in, mama!

72 // Stop Reacting In Anger with This Radical Movement Practice as a Working Mom
You’re feeling guilty again because you just yelled AGAIN. You don’t know why the overstimulation of motherhood affects you so much but yet again the noise and mess from raising your babies got to you.
Maybe regulating your emotions seems impossible dealing with your anxiety. You want to stop feeling so dysregulated but you don’t even know where to start as a Christian working mom. You're the cook, the family doctor, the house cleaner, the employee, and the chaffeur so its no wonder you're a mom with anxiety.
If you're desperate to leave the emotional outbursts behind but emotional work seems unattainable--I've got the perfect solution for you.
Today I’m sharing a radical way to use movement to actually calm your body physically so you can calm your mind emotionally. By using the tangible physical body, you can connect to the intangible emotional part of yourself.
And using this beautiful interconnectedness of God's design of your body is really powerful!
So grab a snack and let’s dive in mama!
