If you've been skipping prayer, avoiding church, or filling your time with anything but God, I see you, and I've been there too. Avoidance doesn't mean you've stopped loving Him. More often, it means fear, shame, or confusion has quietly crept in between you and the One who already knows everything about you. In this episode, I'm walking you through three simple steps to help you return to God even when it feels hard. If you're struggling with anxiety, feeling spiritually disconnected, or just can't seem to find your way back to God, this episode is for you. 💛 Let's Work Together!

Have you ever felt so mentally and emotionally drained that you weren't even overthinking anymore...you were just done? Like you're still showing up, cooking dinner, being present, but feeling completely numb on the inside? I've been there. Just recently, actually. And in this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what helped me shake off that weariness and find my way back. I know what it feels like to carry so much — as a wife, a mother, a woman of faith — and to give so much of yourself that there's nothing left to pour from. I recently heard Sarah Jakes Roberts preach on Galatians 6:9 — "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up," and it completely shifted something in me. Weariness has a way of sneaking up on you, especially when you've overcome something so many times and then here it comes again, right back at your front door. I want you to know: you are not alone, and there is a beautiful reset waiting for you on the other side of this. Today, I'm sharing three simple faith-based steps to hit that reset button. You ready? Let's go! It's THIS THURSDAY!

Have you ever been blindsided by something you never saw coming and immediately felt fear, panic, or anxiety? How do you learn to manage the effects of that sudden event? For most of us, we find ourselves in a state of fear and anxiety when things take an unexpected turn. But, what if we learned to trust God in such a way that we don't lose our hope (or peace!) even when it's hard? In this episode, I'm sharing a hilarious (and very real) story and how it became the perfect lesson on learning to trust God through the unexpected. We'll dig into powerful biblical examples; Peter sleeping in prison, Daniel in the lion's den, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire. And we will learn how to begin trusting God as firmly as they did! You're going to get through this season, sis. Trust! Don't Forget!

Hey sis, the internet is not short on techniques to calm panic attacks. But how do we stop having them? How do we get control and maintain that control so we can go through our days joyfully again? When I was struggling with panic attacks daily, I grew tired of anxiety relief tips that only manage symptoms. I needed to know what steps to take so I could be free. God led me through it, and now you can learn too! In this episode, I'm sharing the faith-based mindset transformation that took me from 4–5 panic attacks a day to NONE, and the simple, actionable boundary you can set today to start renewing your mind and finding real peace. If you're ready to stop managing panic attacks and actually overcome anxiety for good, grab your coffee and journal. Let's go. Don't Forget!

If you've been waking up with a racing heart, feeling constantly triggered, or just going through the motions of life with your mind somewhere else entirely, I see you, and I've been there.

Because once you see it clearly, you can finally start walking toward something better. I break down five areas of your life that anxiety quietly robs... and trust me, some of them may surprise you. Then I share the steps to start getting past it, rooted in faith and real, practical action. Sis, stop surviving and start living. "This is the way, walk in it." Isaiah 30:21 Don't Forget!

If you've ever read Proverbs 31 and immediately felt like you didn't qualify, you're not alone. I've been there before; measuring myself against a list I thought I'd never live up to, all while quietly fighting anxiety behind closed doors. In this episode, I'm breaking down what it actually means to be a virtuous woman, and it's not what most of us think. We're talking about your worth, your strength, and why anxiety doesn't disqualify you from any of it. If you're ready to stop comparing yourself to a standard that was never meant to shame you, I've got you covered. Let's get into it! Don't Forget!

I know what it's like to love God deeply and still wake up anxious. If you've ever wondered why your faith doesn't seem to be "enough" to make the anxiety stop, I want you to know there is nothing wrong with you. In this episode, I'm opening up about three common mistakes I see Christians making when it comes to anxiety, mistakes I made myself for years. I was preaching sermons and coming home to panic attacks, asking God why He wouldn't just take this from me. I'm sharing what I learned, the perspective shift that changed everything, and how you can start walking in freedom too! Scriptures Referenced: (study these, sis!)

Do you know what it's like when anxiety persists to the point where you start to wonder if this is just how it is? Am I always going to be anxious? The world seems to think anxiety is trending, and have made it seem like a cool, personality trait. But God says to "Be anxious for nothing," (Phil 4:6) which means He never meant for it to be part of our identity. So how do we free ourselves from this? How can we start to live without it? Well, today, I'll walk you through three boundaries you can put in place to cut off anxiety's access to your life, rooted in what God says about guarding your heart (Proverbs 4:20-23) and the power of hearing His Word (Romans 10:17). This isn't another "just pray about it" message. This is going to give you real steps to get your peace back in real time. And if you want to go deeper, join my free online workshop!

In this episode, I get really honest about a conversation my husband and I had that completely shifted the way I see rest and the guilt that comes with it. I also share three practical, faith-backed tips that helped me stop arguing with God about taking a break and actually start doing it!

Do you know what it feels like to wake up every day gripped by anxiety and fear, wondering if it will ever end? Do you also feel God calling you out of this, but don't really know how to get started? In this episode, I'm sharing my "shower story" where the prayer that changed everything for me happened. It was in this moment, that God showed me I was praying out of fear. When the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "Pray for what you believe," it shifted my entire perspective. I realized that I had been so consumed by anxiety that I forgot to ask God for what I actually wanted! If you've been dealing with this same issue, today I'm sharing three simple steps that helped me plant my mustard seed of faith and walk out of that dark season. It's the end of March, and Resurrection week. What better time to say "yes" to God's invitation to transform your life? With this in mind, I want to invite you to my free workshop, Free Yourself from Anxiety, happening April 30th at 11 AM CST on Facebook Live. I will be teaching you how to replace anxious thoughts with faith-based ones so you can step into the calling God has for your life. No cost, no catch. Just show up and let's do this together.
