228. Feeling Overwhelmed? 10 Real Tools to Quiet Anxiety and Worry As A Working Mom


Listen Later

Hi Mamas,

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of worry… running through worst-case scenarios at 2 a.m., struggling to stay present with your kids, or Googling symptoms you know you shouldn’t... this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a very personal health scare that brought anxiety to the forefront of my life in a way I hadn’t experienced before. From scary symptoms and MRIs to EEGs and the mental spiral that followed, I’m sharing it all with you… not for sympathy, but to say: you are not alone.

We’re walking through 10 powerful tools I used to break free from the anxiety spiral and reclaim my peace. These mindset and wellness practices are things I now use on the regular… and I promise they are doable, even in the middle of mom life chaos.

You’ll learn:

✔️ How to use the 3-3-3 Rule to ground yourself in seconds
✔️ What to ask yourself when worry shows up (and won’t back down)
✔️ How to create a “Peace Plan” so you don’t spiral when anxiety hits
✔️ Why journaling your fears can be a powerful truth-revealing tool
✔️ How faith, prayer, and a deeper connection with God helped anchor me
✔️ Why movement and music can reset your nervous system
✔️ How to limit info overload and avoid the Google spiral
✔️ Why gratitude is more than a buzzword… it’s a brain reset
✔️ Why talking to someone safe can bring major relief
✔️ The daily breathwork trick I swear by to calm my anxious thoughts

Plus, I’m giving you permission (in case you needed it) to create boundaries around your time, energy, and commitments… because worry thrives when we’re stretched too thin.

This episode is honest, heartfelt, and packed with encouragement and practical steps for any mama who’s ever felt overwhelmed by worry. You deserve calm. You deserve clarity. You deserve to live fully in the moment.
