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!

Y'all, I don't even know where to start with this one. I sat down with Emem Joy, host of Sweet Sleep with Jesus, and we got into anxiety, insomnia, racing thoughts at 2am, and what happens when you finally learn how to take your mind back from the enemy.

If you've ever laid in bed with your heart pounding, unable to sleep no matter what you try, this conversation is for you. Emem shares her raw, honest testimony about the season she walked through with severe sleeplessness and anxiety, and how God met her in the middle of it. We talk about renewing your mind, what biblical meditation actually looks like (it's not what the world tells you it is), and practical, faith-led steps you can start using today to calm anxious thoughts and get back to peaceful sleep.

This episode is packed with so much wisdom on anxiety relief, Christian mindset transformation, and spiritual warfare against fear and insomnia. I can't wait for you to hear it for yourself.

Hey friends! In this week's episode of Get Free From Anxiety, I'm getting real about something a lot of us don't want to look at, because let's be honest, some days everything is going right and we're still anxious out of nowhere. If that's you, pull up a chair sis.

I'm walking you through a root cause of anxiety that hides beneath the surface until we're willing to stop and dig it up. Some of us are carrying dead weight we were never meant to carry that keeps blocking our peace. But there is a biblical reason why, and I'm so ready to dive into it with you.

If you're a faith-based woman ready to overcome anxiety, quiet the racing heart, and finally feel like yourself again through mindset renewal and biblical truth, grab your journal, pour your coffee, and settle in for this one.

If you've been running on empty, saying yes to everything and everyone while your own peace slowly slips away — this episode is for you.

I'm diving into three boundaries that I truly believe will change the way you show up in your life, your home, and your relationships. We're talking real, practical, faith-led strategies for women who are done with the overwhelm and ready to finally feel at peace on the inside.

If you've been struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, feeling constantly triggered, or just carrying way too much for way too long — tune in. We're going deep into what it actually looks like to set boundaries as a Christian woman, and I'm backing every single one of them with scripture.

Whether you're a busy mom, a wife, a woman of faith trying to hold it all together — this conversation is going to give you permission to breathe again.

Grab your journal, pour yourself something warm, and press play.

I'll be honest with you — there was a time in my life when I was so consumed by anxiety that I didn't even know what I wanted anymore. Not because life wasn't giving me opportunities, but because fear had me in such a tight grip that I kept saying no to everything — to fun, to rest, to joy. Sound familiar?

In this episode of Get Free From Anxiety, I'm sharing something that hit me hard on my own journey to freedom: we are often missing out on our lives by choice — not because life isn't showing up for us, but because anxiety convinces us it's safer to stay still.

But here's the thing — God never intended for you to just survive. He intended for you to live. And I've got two steps (yes, just two, and yes, they're simple) that I believe will start moving you in that direction.

If you've been feeling like life is passing you by, like you're too tired, too afraid, or too overwhelmed to even try... this episode is for you. I bring in some Scripture that completely changed my perspective, and I share a little personal story that I think you'll relate to more than you expect.

This one's a pep talk, friend — short, sweet, and straight to the heart. Don't just listen. Go do the thing.

Grab your journal, pour yourself something warm, and press play.
