Panic Meet Peace

#45| Are you constantly hurrying through your life? 3 scriptures to help you slow down and why God wants you to.

Do you struggle with never reaching the end of your to-do list? Does it always feel like you are hurrying to get the next thing done? Have you wondered if it will ever stop?
As someone who wears a lot of hats, I know how easy it is to swept away by all the to-do’s. It is so satisfying to see those objectives move to the “to-done” list. But what isn’t satisfying is the overwhelm, the pressure, and the stress to get all of those boxes checked.
Usually, when we have spent all of our energy doing all of the things, we are left weary and burdened. That’s not fun. But even as I write this, I believe God is calling us to slow down and be present, not just in the moment, but also with Him.
He wants to be the ones to carry the weight of our world on his shoulders. And as you’ll see today, the best place to lay down our struggles and efforts, is at His feet.
May your mind be at ease as you listen. Perhaps today, we can start a new trend. Instead of “busy-moms,” we can be “chill moms.” God loves you and so do I!
P.S. I may or may not have cried severely during the recording of this episode. You’ll find out when you listen!
P.P.S. It’s not edited properly because my computer was not working properly. So…its gonna be interesting.
P.P.P.S. I have prepared a way for you to slow down, and get quiet with God. Register and attend my free Zoom workshop “Hey Anxious Girly” on October 14, 10 am CST, at this link: https://panicmeetpeace.ck.page/heyanxiousgirlyworkshop

#44| Why I Don't Have Panic Attacks Anymore, and How You Can Prevent Them Too

Have you ever found yourself panicking, stressing, and getting so exhausted and fatigued over absolutely nothing?
Those panic attacks, which I call “mind thunderstorms,” are brutal. They are most often hidden within us, not shown outwardly, but inwardly, a tornado is happening. Adrenaline and cortisol are running on a rampage through our bodies, sending us into a panic, and away from peace.
Friend, today I want to share with you my story on how I stopped having panic attacks, and a three step method I have learned and applied to prevent them.
Thanks so much for tuning in today! Please leave a review if you enjoyed it, and even if you didn’t. I can’t wait to read your minds! (Figuratively speaking)
As always, please do not look to this podcast for medical advice. I am here to help guide you to peace through faith techniques. This is what worked for me and hopefully, will help you too.

#43 | Regain Control of Your Emotions with this One Simple Change

Are you tired of always feeling like your emotions are out of control? Does it seem like you are on an emotion rollercoaster all day?
Our emotions are not bad for us. They are designed by God to indicate change, awareness, and so many other things. But when we let those indicators become our decision makers, we can definitely steer down the wrong path quickly!
Get off the emotion-coaster and learn how to regain control through the teaching in this episode. You are in for a treat! 
God bless!

#42 | How to Use Hope to Silence Anxiety

Hi friends! Today's episode is a special one, in that it was totally impromptu and sent by God. I was preparing to record another topic, but as I was praying, God spoke to my heart and said "remind them to hope again."
Hope feels like a forgotten word in a lost world. When you are constantly riddled with anxiety and thinking about the worst thing that can happen, it is difficult to believe for the best again. Though difficult, I still want to challenge you to lean into hope today.
God specifically spoke this into my heart and I believe it was divine intervention for each and every one of you. Lean into hope in God again, and watch God do above and beyond all you ask or think! 
I pray you are blessed by today's episode. Thank you for tuning in!

#41 | What to do when you don't know what to do

Hi friends. A little transparency here: I'm having some spiritual and mental battles over some of the content I have planned for you. I prayed dearly over today's planned episode, and I just did not feel peace about posting it. So, in it's place, I am sharing a replay of a podcast mini-sode. Let this be your reminder: When in doubt, choose peace. :)
Ironically, the message in this episode is fitting for my current disposition and hopefully, a helpful reminder to you as well. When you don't know what to do, JUST KEEP SHOWING UP. 
We often carry so much weight around what we are doing. Especially us mothers and wives. Is it good enough? Am I qualified enough? Did I do all I could today? The endless swarm of thoughts that volley in our mind can leave us feeling inadequate and lead us to thinking we'll never measure up. So when you listen, I pray you are wrapped in the warmth of God's love just as I was when He spoke this to me. 
And i just want to leave a gentle reminder here for each of you who might be struggling right now. God does not ask us to be perfect. He only asks us to be willing. <3
Peace.

#40 | Feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled? How to stop the busy work and take meaningful action now.

This one is for all my stretched too thin, schedule fuller than a fly on the fourth of July, overwhelmed, and overworking ladies!! 
I think we can all agree that busyness does not equal fulfillment.  And yet,  we fear that we are missing out on something if we are not saying yes to every invitation. We long for rest and peace, but somehow never make time for it in our daily planning. This has got to stop! 
Today we are hitting pause and focusing on the things that matter most. Not sure how? Better click play! Partner with God and find out what means the most to Him, and I promise He will help you define what means most to you too. 
BONUS: Taking meaningful action can mean many things to many people, but one thing that will always be meaningful is being intimate with God. Women Seeking Intimacy with God written by Helen Holmes, is one of my favorite devotionals and has brought me closer to God by connecting with women throughout the Bible. 52 devotionals, 1 for every week of the year, is the perfect fit for all my busy sisters!

#39 | Is procrastination giving you anxiety? (Uh, yup!) Take action now, and let peace back in

Are you struggling to get those chores started? Have you found yourself in a sinking hole of undone things that keeps getting deeper and deeper?  
Yeah, I know exactly how you feel. Truth is, we all do it. PROCRASTINATE. We put things off because of how we feel or because it's too daunting for us in the moment to tackle.  And all putting it off is doing, is piling it up for us tomorrow,  which is already causing you anxiety! 
But today, we choose peace. Today, are taking action and making moves. Progress promotes peace, while procrastination promotes panic. No more panic. Let's put on our big kid britches and take our peace back: one step at a time. 
Today's episode is all about procrastination, how it's stealing your peace, and how to take action to overcome it. 
I pray you are blessed!
