In this powerful and hope-filled episode, I sit down with author and speaker Becky Keife to discuss something many women quietly carry every day: anxiety. Becky shares from personal experience how anxiety, while painful, became the very thing God used to draw her closer to Him and deepen her faith.

Together, we explore the difference between shame and honesty, the importance of community, and practical rhythms that help calm the body and steady the soul. From breath prayers to simple peace practices, this conversation offers both spiritual encouragement and real-life tools for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally weary.

Becky also introduces her devotional A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul, a 100-day guide designed to help readers inhale truth, exhale trust, and experience God’s peace in everyday life.

Whether you struggle with clinical anxiety, seasonal stress, or simply need a reset for your heart because life often feels overloaded, this episode is a gentle reminder that you are not alone, you are not disqualified, and God meets you with compassion right where you are.

I’m also giving away a copy of Becky’s book A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul.
