5 Things I Learned About God in OCD Recovery

In this episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest things I’ve learned about God during my OCD and anxiety recovery—things that really changed my relationship with Him. I used to think doubt meant I was doing something wrong, but I’ve come to know a God who is gentle with doubt, doesn’t speak through urgency or fear, and is so patient as we grow. I also talk about learning to recognize the difference between God’s voice and anxious thoughts. I also share how deconstructing and rebuilding my faith has actually been a really normal and important part of growth, and how God doesn’t need us to be perfect before we come to Him. He wants to meet us right in the mess. If you’ve ever felt scared of your doubts or unsure how God sees you in your anxiety, this episode is for you. 🤍 Also—my free 45-minute consult calls are open right now, and I would genuinely love to connect with you and see if coaching could support you!  Click on this link to schedule: https://calendar.app.google/qRmqYyw4vsLS62Jv9 [https://calendar.app.google/qRmqYyw4vsLS62Jv9]

You're Not Stuck

If you’ve been feeling stuck in anxiety, OCD, or just frustrated with parts of your life you can’t control, this episode is for you. I’m sharing a perspective that has truly changed my life: what if life is like a hand of cards you’ve been dealt—and instead of wishing for a different hand, you learn how to win with the one you have?   We’re going to talk about what it looks like to step out of victim mode and into empowerment, and how becoming an expert in your struggles can actually change everything. Whether this shows up in relationship anxiety, your mental health, or even physical challenges, my hope is that this episode helps you feel more grounded, more capable, and a little more hopeful moving forward.

Creating Healthy Boundaries

Boundaries are everywhere right now. Everyone is talking about them. But, most of what we’ve been taught about boundaries isn’t actually helpful.   In this episode, I’m breaking down what boundaries really are, and what they’re not. A boundary is not controlling someone else. It’s not telling someone what they can or cannot do. A boundary is how you keep yourself safe.   We’ll talk about: * The difference between a request and a boundary * Why boundaries build self-trust * How boundaries actually create deeper connection (not distance) * Why boundaries don’t mean you’re in the wrong relationship * Why anxiety might spike a little after you set one (and why that’s okay)   If you’ve ever felt u sure about how to actually create a healthy boundary, this episode is for you! Boundaries aren’t about control — they’re about safety, which allows you to love so much more abundantly.

5 Tips For Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day can bring up a lot when you struggle with relationship anxiety or ROCD. The pressure to feel in love, to feel certain, or to make sure your partner shows up “the right way” can turn one simple day into a spiral.   In this episode, I’m sharing 5 gentle tips to help you move through Valentine’s Day with more calm and intention — from letting go of feeling-checking, to not testing your partner, to choosing love as an action instead of obsessing over love as a feeling.   Link to free consult call: https://calendar.app.google/hTiWm3wRJUd4LHSU7 [https://calendar.app.google/hTiWm3wRJUd4LHSU7]   Instagram: @kresenyaclairecoaching
