In this episode of the Everyday Joy Podcast, Ash sits down with Kate to talk honestly about anxiety, overwhelm, and the pressures we feel stepping into a new year. They explore what it means to not label yourself by your struggles, how to respond to anxious thoughts with kindness, and why God’s faithfulness matters more than perfection.

Drawing from Proverbs 12:25 – “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up” – Ash and Kate unpack how a gentle, compassionate approach—both toward ourselves and others—can lighten the load of heavy hearts. They discuss practical ways to handle stress, lean on God, and encourage others even when life feels overwhelming.

Whether you’re navigating a season of anxiety, returning to life after a challenging time, or simply want to live out your faith more faithfully day by day, this episode is a reminder that every small step of kindness and faithfulness matters.
