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.

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!

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!
