Hey baby sis 🖤

Last week on the show, we talked about self-esteem and insecure attachment — and whew… those two really do tend to go hand-in-hand. If either of those hits close to home for you, go back and listen. I always link the episodes at the bottom of this email so you can get to them easily.

Can I be honest with you for a minute?

Last week was hard for me. Busy. Heavy. A little overwhelming. And you know what I didn’t do?

I didn’t pray the way I should have.

I let the noise and the to-do list and the pressure crowd out the very thing that steadies me. Instead of leaning in, I drifted. Instead of handing it over, I held it tighter.

Have you ever done that?

Walked through something difficult and realized you’ve been trying to muscle through it alone?

Taken His presence for granted without even meaning to?

(Hit reply and tell me about it!)

There was even a moment where I could feel the pressure building — you know that tight-chest, deep-breath kind of moment — and still, I didn’t immediately turn it over to the Lord.

I’m telling you this for one reason: growth in anxiety and peace isn’t automatic. It takes intentional focus. Distraction will slip in. Old habits will creep back. We will forget sometimes.

But here’s the good news — He is so gracious. So patient. So ready to meet you again.

You are not failing because you forgot.

You are not alone because you had a hard week.

He doesn’t roll His eyes when you come back. He opens His arms.

And every hard moment is another invitation to lean in a little sooner next time 🫶🏻

We’re diving into social anxiety — what’s actually happening in your brain in those spiraling moments, and how to walk into conversations, classrooms, and friend groups without feeling like your heart is about to beat out of your chest 😟👊🏻

And because you’re on my email list, you get first dibs on a seat before I share it anywhere else.
