Is anxiety just part of modern life—or are we staying stuck when God offers freedom?
In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Slattery—author, podcaster, and woman of faith who has walked through the depths of anxiety and OCD. She shares how brain science, Therapy, and a deeper connection with Christ helped her rewire her responses and build what she calls a “joy bridge.”
We talk about:
- What OCD really looks like (beyond what you think!)
- The surprising role creativity plays in healing
- How worship, prayer, and journaling can reset your anxiety response
- Parenting through anxious moments (yours and your kids')
- Why your brain can’t tell the difference between memory and present—and how that’s good news
Jennifer offers both hope and actionable help—and we’ve linked all the tools and books she recommends in the show notes.
