From Panic to Purpose: Why Strong Women Struggle With Anxiety & How to Overcome

Mama, if your mind is always racing and your body never fully rests, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Ladies After Wisdom, we’re talking about anxiety, not the kind that stops you in your tracks, but the kind that hides behind productivity, responsibility, and always being “the strong one.”

If you’re constantly tired, overwhelmed, or feeling like you can’t slow down without guilt, I want you to know something: you’re not lazy, you’re emotionally exhausted.

In today’s conversation, we’ll unpack:

• What anxiety actually is and why it shows up so often in high-achieving women

• The difference between burnout and emotional exhaustion

• Why independence can become protection—and why asking for help feels unsafe

• How fear was designed to protect us, but can turn inward and keep us stuck

• Simple, practical tools to help your nervous system feel safe again

My prayer for you as you listen is that you don’t just feel informed—you feel relieved.

This episode kicks off our January Mental Health Series, where we’ll be diving deeper into anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, and learning how to reduce fight-or-flight so we can live with more peace.

Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s move—from panic to purpose—together.
