🫣😳 This one definitely made me stop and think! Nothing tests “love your neighbor” quite like a trip to Walmart!

💭 Thinking about therapy?

Ever feel like your mind just won’t slow down?

Sometimes our thoughts feel tangled, overwhelming, or hard to sort through on our own.

Many women quietly carry anxiety, constant overthinking, and the weight of everyday life while trying to take care of everyone else. You don’t have to navigate that alone.

Counseling can be a space to slow down, process what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with the peace and hope found in your faith.

I currently have a couple of openings available for new clients and offer virtual counseling for women across Florida.

I also offer early morning appointments if you’re someone who likes to tackle important things before the day gets busy. Coffee is optional… but highly encouraged. ☕️

If you’ve been considering therapy, feel free to message me or visit my page to learn more. 🤍

✨ Final day for the giveaway! ✨

I’ll be drawing the winner tomorrow morning, so there’s still time to enter if you haven’t yet. Just head to the original giveaway post and follow the instructions there. 📚

Over the past few days, reading through your comments has really stayed with me. I’ve seen words like exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out. And I just want to say how much I appreciate the honesty here. It takes courage to share those things, even in a comment on the internet. 💛

When I wrote Seeking Joy, my hope was simply that it might meet someone right in the middle of a hard season and remind them they’re not alone, and that God’s peace is still available even when life feels overwhelming.

And for those who have already purchased the book—thank you so much for your support. If you end up reading it and feel comfortable leaving a review on Amazon, it truly helps other women find the book when they need it. Even just a sentence or two makes a difference. 🌿

Be honest… did anyone else do this? 🙋‍♀️

Nothing builds character quite like waiting for your paragraph while reading out loud in class. 😅

But jokes aside, moments like that are often where anxiety quietly begins for a lot of people. So many learned to cope long before they even had the words for what they were feeling.

The encouraging part is that anxiety doesn’t have to run the show forever. Our minds can learn new patterns. Approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy help people notice anxious thoughts, challenge them, and slowly build healthier ways of responding.

I see it all the time—when people understand what their mind is doing and learn a few practical tools, things that once felt overwhelming can start to feel manageable again.

If this meme feels a little too relatable, just know you’re not stuck that way forever. There is real hope, and support can make a big difference. 💛

Christian women carry a lot…
Anxiety. Overthinking. Feeling overwhelmed. Trying to hold everything together for everyone else.

So I’m giving away one copy! (U.S. continental shipping only)

To enter:
1️⃣ Like this post
2️⃣ Comment one word describing how you’ve been feeling lately or tag a friend who might enjoy this study.

💛 If you’d like an extra entry, feel free to share this post and comment "shared" so another woman who needs encouragement can see it too.

📚 I’ll randomly choose one winner on Friday… yes, Friday the 13th 😄

Even if you don’t enter, I hope this encourages you today:
You don’t have to carry everything alone. God cares about your heart, your stress, and your struggles too. 🙏

Ever notice how confident we can be about our plans… until we bring them to God? 😅

“Okay Lord, here’s what I’m thinking:
I mapped it out, scheduled it, color-coded it, and I’m feeling pretty good about it.”

And then… that moment when we pause and actually pray about it. 👀

Sometimes God lovingly redirects.
Sometimes He slows us down.
Sometimes He gently reminds us that His plans are bigger, wiser, and way better than what we had in mind. 🙏

It’s not wrong to make plans. But there’s so much peace in holding them loosely and saying,
“Lord, guide my steps.” 💛

If you’ve ever had God lovingly rewrite your plans, you’re definitely not alone.
