Summer break can bring so many mixed emotions for moms.

46 | Saying Yes to Too Much? How Anxious Moms Can Calm Schedule Anxiety and Find Peace

Are you looking at your calendar and wondering, “Did I say yes to too much?” Do social plans, kids’ activities, family commitments, or appointments leave you feeling anxious and overwhelmed before they even happen? Do you struggle to know when to say yes, when to say no, and how to create boundaries without guilt? As moms, our calendars can fill up so quickly. And sometimes, even when the plans are good, our bodies and minds still feel anxious, stretched thin, and overloaded. If you’ve ever looked at your week and thought, “When are we going to rest?” or “Why does this feel so heavy?” this episode will encourage you. Today we’re talking about schedule anxiety, overcommitting, people-pleasing, and how to invite God into your calendar with wisdom, peace, and boundaries. You’ll learn how to pause before saying yes, recognize when even good things may not be right for this season, and create simple boundaries without guilt. Because God is not asking you to live rushed, resentful, and overwhelmed. He cares about your peace, your capacity, and your family’s rhythm. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why anxious moms often say yes too quickly out of guilt, pressure, or fear of disappointing others ⭐️ How to ask God for wisdom before adding another commitment to your calendar ⭐️ Why not every good thing is a God thing for your current season ⭐️ How schedule anxiety can be connected to capacity, mental load, and nervous system overwhelm ⭐️ Simple boundary phrases you can use when your calendar already feels full ⭐️ How to let your yes be peaceful and your no be loving Be Part of my 50th Episode 🎉 Have a question you’d love for me to answer on the podcast?

43 | Intrusive Thoughts as a Mom? How to Stop Spiraling and Trust God With Your Kids

Have you ever had a scary intrusive thought about your child’s safety that made your body feel like danger was happening right now? How do you know the difference between taking a wise safety step and spiraling in fear? What can you do in the moment to stop the “what if” cycle and trust God with your kids? In this episode, we’re talking about intrusive thoughts, mom anxiety, and how to stop spiraling when fear feels loud. I’m sharing the real story of opening our pool for the summer and suddenly being hit with intrusive thoughts about my 3-year-old drowning.  Through that experience, my counselor helped me understand the difference between taking wise safety steps and letting anxiety keep running the show. If you are a Christian mom struggling with anxious thoughts, fear about your kids, or the pressure to keep everyone safe all the time, this episode will help you recognize the thought, take one wise step, and trust God with what you cannot control. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why intrusive thoughts do not mean you are a bad mom ⭐️ How scary thoughts often attach to what we love most ⭐️ Why having a thought does not mean it is true, prophetic, or a warning from God ⭐️ The difference between taking one wise step and repeatedly checking for reassurance ⭐️ How anxiety can feel like a dryer sensor that gets stuck ⭐️ Why our nervous system can stay on high alert even after we have taken practical safety steps ⭐️ How to redirect your brain back to the present moment ⭐️ Simple real-life tools moms can use when intrusive thoughts start spiraling   Contact Rachel: Contact -> hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Podcast -> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-over-anxiety-for-moms-anxiety-bible-verses-biblical/id1873421553www.faithoveranxietyformoms.com/podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-over-anxiety-for-moms-anxiety-bible-verses-biblical/id1873421553] Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider -> SIGN UP HERE!
