#81 | Why Faith Is The Only Thing You Need to Overcome Anxiety - My Testimony

I know it sounds crazy and unrealistic, but faith is really all you need to overcome anxiety.
I’ve suffered from anxiety most of my life—panic attacks, postpartum anxiety, Googling every symptom, hiding in closets just to breathe. I did all the techniques the world told me to do, but the anxiety always came back.
While googling anxiety medications, I broke down crying and told God that I know this is not what He meant for me. In that moment,I partnered with Him, left the Googles, the medications, and the temporary symptom relief behind, and decided to walk by faith. Not even 4 months went by before the panic attacks ended, the anxious dizziness left, and I found lasting peace! 
Here I am, 2 full years later, living anxiety free and actually joyful again. Even in the midst of a crazy world, political disarray, wars, (and in this episode specifically, a head cold) I HAVE PEACE. Because truly—faith is all you need to overcome anxiety.

#76 | Is God Giving You the Silent Treatment? 3 Calming Tips to Help You Trust God When You Can't Trace Him

"Trust God when you can't trace Him!"
Ever heard that one before? Yeah, me too.
It's a cliche that has been around for generations, and though it is good and right, it's still hard to do!
Especially when you feel under pressure, in pain, or scared.
And while we wait, we have a tendency to start self-sabotaging ourselves:

we feel like giving up and doing things our way
we let our emotions take the lead and follow our feelings
So how do we really trust God when we can't trace him?
Well, I've got 3 faith-based tactics to help you increase your faith, keep calm while you wait, and find peace in the middle of a "silent" storm.
Are you ready to dive in? Yeah, me too.
