Is anxiety a persistent struggle for you? Do you feel constantly triggered, even when nothing is causing it? Do you love God, but question if that is enough to stop the panic attacks?
You are in the right place! This podcast is designed to help women like you find freedom from anxiety through faith-based solutions, real conversations with real women, and step-by-step anxiety strategies.
Hi, I’m Ashanti, founder and host of the Get Free From Anxiety podcast. For years, I suffered from major postpartum anxiety, that ultimately became chronic anxiety. I would open my eyes to a racing heart, avoid eating any foods that triggered stomach problems, and had panic attacks multiple times a day. I tried everything from breathing techniques, to exercise, even meditation! But nothing I did gave me the freedom that I was searching for.
Then, one day while googling medications for anxiety, I remembered something: God never meant for me to live like this! From that moment on, I knew that if I wanted to be free, I needed to partner with Him, revive my faith, and start renewing my mind.
God showed me His plan for peace, and I’ve been living in it ever since. Now, I’m sharing it with you.
If you want to have the ability to:
- silence anxiety,
- stop having panic attacks,
- feel good physically again,
- all while growing a deeper, closer connection with God,

May 2600:17:46Tap to summarizeIf you've ever Googled "why does my anxiety not go away even though I have faith," you're in the right place.
