Summary
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 dreams How anxiety can keep you filtering, hiding, and second-guessing yourself The connection between feeling loved and feeling confident How faith can become a source of security rather than another source of pressure Why you don't need everyone else's approval to know you're enough How to shift whose opinion of you carries the most weight What it looks like to move through life with more freedom, play, confidence, and purpose If 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.
