How to Handle Stress with Confidence and Faith
Stress is real. And if you’re a woman, a mom, or anyone with a heartbeat, you’ve probably felt it a lot lately. Some days, it’s the big things—financial struggles, health concerns, uncertainty about the future. Other days, it’s the small things—like realizing your kid used your good kitchen scissors for crafts again or finding that somehow every laundry basket is full right after you just did the laundry.
Life comes at us fast. And as much as I’d love to say that stress magically disappears once we pray about it, the truth is… that’s not how it works. But that doesn’t mean we’re powerless. As a therapist and a Christian woman who wears many hats, I’ve learned that stress isn’t something we just “survive.” It’s something we can learn to handle—with faith, wisdom, and a little bit of strategy.
Is It Time to See a Therapist for Anxiety? 5 Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Anxiety is something we all experience. That nervous feeling before speaking in public, the worry over our kids’ futures, or the 3 AM “Did I lock the front door?” panic. (Spoiler: You probably did. But now you have to check.)
Anxiety in small doses is normal—even helpful! God designed our brains to alert us to danger and motivate us to act. But what happens when anxiety isn’t just an occasional feeling? When it lingers, grows, and starts to take over your thoughts, decisions, and peace?
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is my anxiety bad enough to see a therapist?”—you’re not alone. Let’s talk about 5 signs that might mean it’s time to reach out for support.
Why 16+ Sessions? Because Change Takes Time (And That’s Okay!)
If you’re thinking about starting therapy (or maybe you’re already a few sessions in), you might be wondering, “How long will this take?”
I get it. As busy women, we’ve got laundry piles that multiply like rabbits, kids who ask for snacks every five minutes, and a to-do list that could probably wrap around the earth twice. The idea of committing to 16 therapy sessions might feel like just another thing on the list.
But hear me out—therapy isn’t just another chore. It’s an investment in your well-being so you can keep showing up for yourself, your family, and the life God has called you to live. And while 16 sessions might sound like a lot, there’s a reason why this number is so important.
