In this episode, we're talking about anxiety, self-worth, people-pleasing, faith, and what happens when you finally begin to feel deeply rooted in who you are.I share a personal story from my own healing journey in my 20s, when I struggled with anxiety, insecurity, and constantly questioning how I was showing up in the world. A deeper relationship with God—and learning to see myself through His perspective—changed everything for me.We'll explore:Why feeling safe can make it easier to take risks and pursue your dreamsHow anxiety can keep you filtering, hiding, and second-guessing yourselfThe connection between feeling loved and feeling confidentHow faith can become a source of security rather than another source of pressureWhy you don't need everyone else's approval to know you're enoughHow to shift whose opinion of you carries the most weightWhat it looks like to move through life with more freedom, play, confidence, and purposeIf you're an anxious, high-achieving woman who is tired of overthinking, shrinking yourself, and feeling like you have to get everything "right," this episode is for you.You don't need to become someone else to become confident. You get to become more rooted in who you already are.HIGHLIGHTS |00:00 — What a healthy relationship can give you01:35 — When anxiety makes you question everything02:10 — The beginning of a deeper healing journey03:02 — “Who do you say I am?”04:00 — Becoming rooted instead of reactive04:44 — The realization that changed everything05:14 — What if God is already walking with you?06:00 — Feeling safe enough to actually live07:18 — “God's got me.”08:09 — Stop hiding.
