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,

#145 | Ready to Get Your Life Back From Anxiety? Start Using This 4-Step Method (100% Faith Based!)
4d ago00:21:26Tap to summarizeI 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.

Transcribe →#144 | Stop Surviving & Start Living: 3 Questions to Help You Reconnect With Joy Again!
1w ago00:14:08Tap to summarizeI'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!

2w ago00:33:01Tap to summarizeDo you ever catch yourself trying to "fix" everything for your kid, only to feel like they're pulling further away from you? Or maybe you're the one who grew up feeling like you had to be the perfect Christian kid, holding it all together so your parents wouldn't worry? 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. Grab your coffee for this one, you're going to want to sit with it a while. If you have a teen daughter heading back to school this year, stick around to the end, Kristen's got something special for her too!

Transcribe →#142 | How to Stop Fearing Your Next Panic Attack & Heal Them Instead
2w ago00:13:02Tap to summarizeYou 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
Transcribe →#141 | Retrain Your Mind So You Can Live Without Constant Anxiety in 4 Steps
3w ago00:18:14Tap to summarizeOkay, 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
