I tied my worth to achievement, approval, and appearance. From the outside, I looked fine. Inside? I was exhausted.For years, I tried to “fix” myself by working harder, achieving more, and trying to be the good Christian girl who had it all together.So, what changed?I finally realized peace wasn’t about becoming a different girl.

    110 | Social Anxiety Is Lying to You About Who to Trust
    Jul 3 2026

    Here's the thing about social anxiety — it doesn't stay in the hallway at school. You know that feeling, right? Like everyone's eyes are on you, and your brain's already running through every way you could mess this up? That feeling doesn't clock out when the bell rings. It follows you home. It follows you straight into your closest friendships — the ones that actually matter — and has you replaying a text for the hundredth time, wondering if she's mad at you. And here's what's so sneaky about it: social anxiety doesn't just make you doubt yourself. It makes you doubt the people who are actually safe — the ones who really do have your back. So today, I'm giving you 3 clear signs — no guessing, no overthinking — that tell you exactly who you can actually trust. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why social anxiety doesn't just make you doubt yourself — it makes you doubt the people who are actually safe
    • The real reason your mind won't stop replaying that text (and how to bring yourself back to the present)
    • A simple pros-and-cons tool to check anxious thoughts against what you actually know to be true
    • The 3 signs that tell you exactly who you can trust — Active Support, Honesty, and Mutual Respect
    • Why trusting your gut again is the first step back to real peace

    Here's what I want you to do this week: think of one friend, just one, and run her through these three signs. Not to go looking for reasons to cut her off — but to actually see her clearly, instead of through the fog of lies your anxiety's been telling you. And girl, that clarity? That's where your peace starts to come back. xo, Kristen 🎧 Be sure to follow or subscribe so you don't miss anything! LET'S CONNECT!

    109 | Why Does Nobody Tell Teen Girls God Leads You Through Anxiety, Not Around It?
    Jun 30 2026

    Hey doll! I spent last week as a fully unhinged VBS volunteer — and the Ireland theme (sheep, highland cows, Psalm 23) would not let me go. Because I kept thinking about you. Here's something nobody tells teen girls enough: God is not trying to get you around your anxiety. He's not promising to remove the hard stuff before you walk through it. Psalm 23 is actually really clear about this — and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

    In this episode:

    • Why David wrote Psalm 23 in the middle of danger — and why that changes everything
    • How the enemy really shows up (hint: not with a pitchfork)
    • Why Psalm 23 is a battle plan, not a calm-down script
    • What "He leads" actually requires of you
    • The Shepherd's Pause — a 4-step tool for the next time anxiety hits

  • 108 | Self-Doubt Is Lying to You — How Teen Girls Can Stop Believing the Worst

    108 | Self-Doubt Is Lying to You — How Teen Girls Can Stop Believing the Worst
    Jun 26 2026

    Self-doubt is lying to you. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how it does it. You said something in the group chat, walked into a room where everyone seemed to have it together, or typed a text four times before deleting it — and that voice kicked in. Something is wrong with me. I'm so embarrassing. I don't belong here. That voice feels like truth. It sounds like you. But baby sis, it is not. In this episode, we're talking about where self-doubt really comes from, why it's so hard to catch, and one simple question you can ask when the spiral starts. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why self-doubt is a lie — not a personality trait or a diagnosis
    • How Satan uses your own voice to make the lie feel believable
    • The pattern that shows up every single time (hint: it's always right before the brave thing)
    • What Romans 8:1 says about the voice that tears you down
    • One practical question to ask yourself when the self-doubt spiral starts

    You are not broken. You are not too sensitive. You are a girl with an enemy who knows your weak spots — and a God who already told you the truth about who you are. xo, Kristen
