In this heartfelt episode of It’s Going to Be Okay, Nicky Asher-Bowling explores the deep connection between our outer clutter and our inner chaos. Depression and anxiety often hide behind piles of unfinished tasks, emotional buildup, and spiritual exhaustion. Nicky shares how decluttering—both physically and mentally—can become a form of healing, peace, and spiritual renewal.

Through biblical encouragement, practical steps, and personal stories, Nicky guides listeners to start small: set boundaries, pray through overwhelm, and invite God into the process of clearing space in your home and your heart. This episode reminds us that the clutter we see isn’t a sign of laziness—it’s a reflection of survival and a call for gentle restoration.

✨ The key differences between burnout and depression
✨ Why we often label ourselves as “lazy” when we’re actually exhausted
✨ The spiritual side of burnout and how to let God restore your peace
✨ Practical, grace-filled ways to heal—through boundaries, rest, and asking for help

Scriptures shared include Matthew 11:28, Psalm 23:3, Romans 8:1, and more—each offering encouragement and truth for your healing journey.

Because self-care doesn’t have to look pretty—it just has to be real. 🧡

1. The Lie of Isolation

   • Depression tells us we’re too heavy for others to carry.

   • This lie leads us into silence and loneliness.

   • But God never designed us to walk alone.

2. The Gift of Community

   • Relationships are meant to be reciprocal—we carry each other at different times.

   • Sometimes we’re the strong one, sometimes we’re the one who needs support.

   • That balance is what makes relationships Christ-like.

3. Obeying the Law of Christ

   • Galatians reminds us that sharing burdens is not weakness—it’s obedience.

   • Asking for help honors God’s design for the body of Christ.

4. Practical Steps to Lean In Instead of Withdrawing

   • Start small: share a need with a trusted friend.

   • Practice honesty: “I’m not okay today, could you pray for me?”

   • Remember—it’s not about dumping on someone, but allowing them to love you.

5. God’s Presence in Our Burdens

   • Even when people fail us, God never sees us as a burden.

   • Jesus Himself says, “Come to me, all who are weary…” (Matthew 11:28).

Reflective Question for Listeners:
Where in your life have you pulled away out of fear of being a burden, and what small step could you take today to let someone in?

If this message spoke to you today, remember—you don’t have to do life alone. Reach out, ask for prayer, and let yourself be supported. And if you’d like to go deeper, I’d love to walk alongside you through coaching.

🌟 Summary

We’ve all carried guilt. We’ve all walked through grief. And, with God’s help, we can also grow. In this episode, I share my personal journey of wrestling with shame, from feeling judged during my divorce to learning how to move forward with peace. Using 10 scriptures as quick tips, I explore how we can release the “shoulds,” practice self-compassion, stay anchored in the present, and find hope again. God doesn’t condemn us—He walks with us through guilt and grief and leads us into growth.
