Mama, if your mind is always racing and your body never fully rests, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Ladies After Wisdom, we’re talking about anxiety, not the kind that stops you in your tracks, but the kind that hides behind productivity, responsibility, and always being “the strong one.”

If you’re constantly tired, overwhelmed, or feeling like you can’t slow down without guilt, I want you to know something: you’re not lazy, you’re emotionally exhausted.

In today’s conversation, we’ll unpack:

• What anxiety actually is and why it shows up so often in high-achieving women

• The difference between burnout and emotional exhaustion

• Why independence can become protection—and why asking for help feels unsafe

• How fear was designed to protect us, but can turn inward and keep us stuck

• Simple, practical tools to help your nervous system feel safe again

My prayer for you as you listen is that you don’t just feel informed—you feel relieved.

This episode kicks off our January Mental Health Series, where we’ll be diving deeper into anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, and learning how to reduce fight-or-flight so we can live with more peace.

Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s move—from panic to purpose—together.

As we close out 2025, I want to pause with you for a moment—before we rush into goals, plans, and pressure.

Mama, if you’re sitting here feeling disappointed, unfocused, or like you didn’t do enough this year, this episode is for you. I’m sharing a simple but powerful perspective shift that will help you see your year clearly and kindly.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why your done list matters more than your to-do list

• How to acknowledge where you fell short without staying stuck there

• Two reflective assignments to help you enter 2026 with peace and clarity

• What it really looks like to stop pulling God along and let Him lead

Before you step into a new year, I want you to remember this: you’ve done more than you think, God has been with you the whole time, and 2026 doesn’t have to be driven by hustle, it can be guided by trust.

Grab your journal, take a breath, and let’s reset together. 💛

Are you using "busyness" as an excuse to ignore your calling?

In this powerful, no-nonsense episode, Coach Q addresses the self-sabotaging behaviors that keep you from pursuing your deepest passions and purposes.

Citing the scripture 1 Samuel 15:22, she challenges the common misconception that sacrifice (constantly prioritizing others' needs over your own divine purpose) is superior to obedience.

Coach Q emphasizes that the desires God places in your heart are meant to be pursued now...not next week, next month, or next year.

Discover why your disobedience is holding someone else's "life raft," and learn how to move past fear and start the book, the business, or the healthy lifestyle you were meant to have. It is time to reflect, stop making excuses, and begin again, right now.
