Healing Anxiety for Christian Moms | Trust in God, Mindset, Biblical Encouragement, Chronic Stress, Intrusive Thoughts

Knowing and living from your identity in Christ is so crucial as a Christian mom, and today we're talking all about it. 

We have to be intentional and it just can't wait. And I know it's not easy, so I'm here to encourage you (and myself as well)! 

Lean in and walk away with truth to speak over yourself, so you can stand firm in the truth of who you are, feeling more confident to fully live out the life God has for you. I'm here practicing this and walking it out with you, and it's made a huge difference in my life. 

I pray it does the same for you friend. Thanks for being here. :)

Love you guys,

Fear makes you feel like there's an alarm going off, that you're in perceived danger and your nervous system feels like you have to react. You don't have to stay stuck in fear. You don't have to react. It's a process, but this really good news is worth pursuing and practicing daily. Trust me!

In this episode I want to remind you what God's word says about fear and your mind, so that you can take a breath and have more peace today.

God is NOT worried, AT ALL (we'll talk about this too). That alone, signals my mind and body to relax as I focus on the fact that God is truly in control, always with us, no matter what. And thankfully, he says do not fear, because the one who holds it all knows so much more than we do. We can trust Him. We can rest in that as we move forward in faith. Keep going.

Love you guys,

Hannah

Taking in God's truth over our lives is powerful, and we need to choose to do this daily-no matter how we feel and especially when we are tempted to believe lies about shame, fear, doubt, guilt, anxiety, OCD and more.

None of that is your identity. These are symptoms and signals to look inward with compassion, and I'm going to point you back to what Jesus says- it's always certain and unchanging. 

He's the solid rock we stand on, while we feel all the things. And it's Jesus that will get you through it. 

Over the years, I've found so much comfort in leaning on other's faith when mine has felt weak, so lean into this episode for much needed hope to fill your spirit and renew your mind. Today is not a reflection of how you will always feel, take it from me!

We go over:

-scriptures to point you back to Jesus-always (we need biblical encouragement daily)

-that you are not alone and will get through this (I've been there too)

-the difference between unwanted thoughts and sin, why anxiety isn't a sin and what it is instead

-the Lord's heart and compassion toward you

-bible verses that remind us that there is nothing we can do to change God's character, His truth, the way He feels about you- no matter how you might feel and WHY. 

This is really good news. Let it sink in again and again. 

I'm here to be in your corner friend, as I also remind myself what's true. 

Love you and so grateful you're here,

Hannah

If you've ever battled unwanted, intrusive thoughts from OCD, I'm here to remind you what's actually true, and that you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. 

And, if you're in the thick of it, I've been there, deep in the suffering and discouragement too and I'm here to tell you that you're not stuck. There truly is so much hope for you. 

I pray that today's episode lets you breathe lighter, that you can begin to release any false beliefs you might have and see yourself as separate from it all.

It's a process, but lean into the Lord and the tools that he makes available. God's brought so much healing over time in my life and especially my mind, and he is ready to do the same for you and with you as you lean in, trusting Him. Jesus loves you beyond measure friend. 

So grateful you're here,

What's your mindset when uncertainty, fear of the unknown and anxiety try to take over?Let me encourage you that you truly can change your mindset with practice because God gave you a brain with the ability to change. I've found so much freedom in this truth!

It's so empowering to know that you can cultivate a mindset that's rooted in God's truth, and in relationship with Jesus- knowing and truly trusting that God is who He says He is-

No matter what. 

Today, we talk about 3 things you can do to practice this mindset, why it's so vital and I also share what God did in my life this past week that I hope encourages you as well.

You are not stuck with your same thoughts or alone in this. You really can renew your mind to God's word with practice and it is SO worth it. I've struggled with anxiety and OCD and still do at times, but because of Jesus, I've come a really long way friend and if I can, then so can you. 

The Bible says nothing is impossible for God. Lean in to trusting who He is, putting these 3 actions into place and watch what the Lord does in your mind, heart and entire life.

So grateful you're here,

Hannah

Are you worrying about the same anxious thoughts and find it really tough to stop the overthinking? Trying to control future scenarios only steals our peace and present moment, instead of actually fixing things.

I've known this well and if you're like me, it leads to feeling exhausted, frustrated and burnt out. To say the least.

If you're feeling weary, I hope you'll listen to this episode where I share:

- why learning to trust God's character is vital

- how it helps anxiety, stress, the "what if's"

- what you can begin to do right now, so you can live more present and peaceful (more to come in part 2)

love,

hannah

-the deeper lessons the Lord put on my heart about waiting that I do not want to forget

Today's episode will encourage your heart if you're weary and burdened—especially from shame. And if you're stuck in painful, negative patterns of not allowing yourself the compassion and self-forgiveness you need to move forward, I really hope this will bring you relief and hope.

-What I'm learning from a brain surgeon who blends faith and neuroscience

-How taking every thought captive has made a significant difference in my life and why we cannot take this command lightly

-Ways you can begin to move forward and why neuroscience and our Christian faith provide unbelievable hope

Dr. Lee Warren says change your brain by changing your mind, and it all begins with your thoughts. You have God-given agency and authority through Christ. What's more empowering than this? Let's go!

I hope you're as motivated and encouraged by this as I am, thanks so much for being here. 

with so much gratitude,

Hannah

Do you feel overburdened mentally and physically with a list of to-dos that all feels urgent, a packed schedule, and so many worries that you just wish you could lay down? You're carrying more than you're meant to, and there is rest for you.

If you're like me, you really want a life with more peace, purpose, and margin—choosing intentionally instead of taking on what's not for you. 

In this episode I share:

- Why we should remember life is fleeting

- The importance of an eternal mindset

- How to shift your focus from overwhelm to what truly matters

- How to self-assess right now, if you're living like you really want to (and what to do about it)

- Ways to help you implement and live intentionally with more joy and trust in God

- A reminder of the power of gratitude 

Stop the cycle of overwhelm and anxiety with God's perspective, and re-orient right now. Love you and thanks for being here. I pray this encourages you today!
