This week in our sponsor spot is our guest Dr, Robyn Graham’s new book, You, Me & Anxiety.  Do you ever wonder what it might be like to not feel anxious all the time?  The good news is you no longer have to feel alone and isolated.  You, Me, and Anxiety helps you identify anxiety, recognize its symptoms, and take intentional action to manage and overcome it so that it no longer has a negative grip on your life. This book is perfect for anyone who ever: Struggles to get out of bed in the morning; Dreams of getting a good night's sleep; Has stomach flips at the thought of going to school; Often feels alone and afraid to try new things or do familiar activities; Finds it challenging to hang out with their friends or go to parties; Often feels irritable or angry; or Experiences frequent stomach pains or headaches (or both).  More good news: you aren't doomed! In fact, even with anxiety, you can live a happy, joyful life and experience the fabulous things your peers are experiencing.  This book does not promise that overcoming and managing anxiety will be easy, but it will show you that you have the ability and tools to navigate through it.  Are you ready and willing to take intentional action and embrace the recommendations included in You, Me, and Anxiety so you can go from feeling stuck in a negative cycle to unstuck and proactively changing how you feel every day?  Let's do this!

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION 

Hey Listeners!  Some of you may have heard a big part of my story on how I started this podcast.  During my day job I get to listen to podcasts all day long.  The ones I really enjoy are ones that encompass someone’s story and their passion(s).  Since I am an avid podcast listener I wanted to start sharing podcasts and podcast episodes that I have enjoyed and that I think you will enjoy as well.

One podcast that I am currently binging is The Dropout.  I had started listening to this pod when it first came out and I recently saw that it covers her trial which already happened.  Quick summary Elizabeth Holmes created Theranos, which was supposed to help blood testing be quick, cheaper and less painful. She was at one point deemed the youngest self-made female billionaire, but then she lost it.  I enjoy this podcast because of the in depth research and interviews that this podcast walks us through as it unpacks this story.  If you are interested in a gripping story of money, romance, tragedy and deception I highly recommend putting this in your podcast queue.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION 

I love The Happy Hour Podcast hosted by Jamie Ivey which I have mentioned before on this podcast.  During the happy hour they will discuss anything and everything just as if you were around the table with your own girlfriends. Jamie loves to connect with women and encourage them as they journey through life. 

Today I wanted to share with you episode #377 with Gretchen Saffles who is an author and founder of the online community Well-Watered Women.  In this episode, Gretchen talks about society’s criteria of a “good Christian woman” and how to combat that with God’s word. Gretchen also dives into the true meaning of a well-watered woman, and what it looks like to really be with Jesus. There is a quote that I have had on a sticky note on my laptop for the past several weeks from this episode when Gretchen said, “Contentment is not having more or having less, it is having Christ.”  I would encourage you to give this episode a listen, I will link the podcast details in the show notes!
