#14 Freedom to Trust
I have trust issues and honestly quite a few people I know do as well. It's easy to have trust issues, because people are always disappointing us (even the ones we're supposed to be able to trust the most). One of the hardest things to do is separate how we trust people vs how we trust God. In this episdoe I talk about what God's teaching me about how to for real trust Him in the middle of my panic/anxiety. Also, box breathing is my new thing and I'm doing it everywhere! If you haven't heard ...

#13 Freedom From Shame
Have you ever felt ashamed of your anxiety? Have you even felt unloved by God because you continue to struggle with anxiety? Today I talk about getting free from the shame associated with your struggle. Even if you're still dealing with anxiety daily, God is not ashamed of you and He is still passionately loving you through it! Don't give up on getting free from anxiety itself, but maybe your first step is getting free from shame. Follow this podcast on Instagram @jesusmeandanxiety E...

#12 New Year. One Goal.
New years can bring lots of excitement (especially this year in particular). But a new year can also bring unmet expectations, overly ambitious goals that become unattainable by March, or maybe just fear of the unknown. After year of putting "New Year pressure" on myself (unhealthy pressure at times), I made a decision this year to have one goal. It's definitely the best one I've ever had. Listen as I talk about life updates (where have I been for the last 6 months? ah!) and how Jesus is teac...

#11 The Profound Difference Gratitude Makes
Gratitude isn't a new concept. However, it doesn't really matter how many times we hear that we need to be grateful. If we don't choose to practice the discipline of gratitude, we'll never see it change our lives. This week I'm talking about how I'm attempting to make gratitude an everyday practice that flushes out my anxious thoughts.

#10 TEN Things I Didn't Know About Sabbath
Are you anxious? Exhausted? Feeling like you barely have fumes to run on? Last year I stumbled upon a gift from God that truly eradicated my ongoing burnt out feeling. SABBATH!! If you've never honored Sabbath as a regular part of your life, please consider listening to this week's episode. I'm sharing how keeping Sabbath has decreased my anxiety, given me a mini-vacay every week (who doesn't want that?) and drawn me closer to the Father than ever before. Sabbath will change your life, I can ...

#9 Minimalism = More Than a Movement
Minimalism has become a hot topic and it might seem like a fad that will come and go. However, did you know that the core of what minimalism is actually started in the Word of God? In this episode, I explain how letting go of the world's standards to embrace God's standards, has not only alleviated my anxiety but drawn me closer to the Father as well. Even if you don't struggle with anxiety, this episode is for anyone who wants to create more space for God in your life.

#7 Enough Is Literally Enough
Kassi recalls a time in her life when anxiety and panic attacks ruled almost every decision she made. From where she would go to who she would be around, anxiety seemed to be the loudest voice she could hear and unfortunately she listened to it. But as ironic as it may sound, FOMO (fear of missing out) was what finally caused her to say "enough is enough". Find out what helped her push through one of the lowest anxiety valleys and how it continues to help her enjoy her present days as well.&n...

#6 The Perfectionist VS. Corona
I guess this could be called COVID-19 Pt 2. As things continue to be weird during this pandemic, different triggers for anxiety can pop-up when we least expect them. One of my all time highest-ranking triggers for anxiety is perfectionism. And when the whole world seems to be falling apart, maintaining my own standard of myself or my expectations has become almost impossible. Thus, anxiety tries to creep in. BUT, I refuse to let it overwhelm me, and I refuse to get stuck in the anxiety fog. L...
