Hey doll, this one came from you. One of you asked for this exact episode, so if that’s you, I hope you feel how much I mean it when I say I see you. 🫶🏻 Because right now you might be lying awake replaying the hallway, a text, a look on his face, wondering what you could’ve done differently. Or you’re doing your hair and makeup for school, not because you feel like it, but because some part of you is trying to prove something to someone who’s not even watching anymore.I’ve been there. Not in theory. In the actual crying yourself to sleep, forcing yourself to get ready anyway kind of there. So today we’re talking about how to actually get over a breakup and feel like yourself again, not fake fine, not just distract and hope, actually feel like you.What You’ll Learn in This Episode: - Why a breakup can hit way harder than people expect, and what your brain is actually doing about it - What grief for a relationship can honestly look like (it’s not a straight line) - A tool to set a real, visible deadline for the wallowing, without rushing the grief itself - Why rebuilding through hobbies and new things matters more than you think, especially right now - How to lean on your people without needing them to hold the whole thing togetherThis week, your one step: pull out your calendar today and pick your date. Circle it, highlight it, bold it, whatever makes it impossible to ignore. That’s not a deadline on your grief, it’s a deadline on the wallowing.Friday we’re getting into why the coping skills you’ve already tried keep falling apart the second you actually need them, so don’t miss that one.love ya mean it,Kristen🎧 If this one helped, follow the show so the next episode finds you too.LET’S CONNECT! 🕊️ Free PEACE Playbook: anxiouschristianteen.com/peace 🩶 Free community: anxiouschristianteen.com/community ❓ What Type of Anxious Teen Girl Are You?: anxiouschristianteen.com/quiz

Hey doll,Ever walk down the hallway and feel like every single head turns? Your hair decided to be frizzy today, you’re not sure you got the right New Balances, and you’re so hot on the inside you might actually catch fire.That feeling of everyone watching you is real. But what’s actually going on is usually not what you think. In this episode, I tell you about the night I walked into a gym with a brand new hairstyle and went from “I’m cute” to “I feel ridiculous” in about two seconds flat. Then I give you one tool for the second that heat starts rising, and three truths that take the power out of the spotlight.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Hey mama,Is your teen’s anxiety your fault? If that question has been sitting heavy on your heart, I want you to hear me: no, it’s not. It doesn’t mean you missed something, it doesn’t mean you weren’t there for her, and it doesn’t mean you haven’t raised her to truly trust God.Maybe she’s been quieter lately, snapping at everybody, or falling apart the second she gets in the car. You want to help, but you’re scared of saying the wrong thing. So today I’m giving you a simple way to start that conversation, one that won’t send her running to her room.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Hey doll!Somebody asks if you’re okay, and before you can even think, it slips right out: “I’m good. I can handle it.” Baby sis, that might be the most expensive sentence you’ll say all year.Today I’ve got my coaching hat on, and I’m calling you out a little bit. That’s because “I can handle it” usually isn’t about being stubborn. It’s about being scared. I’m sharing the time saying it almost put me in the hospital, what pride really has to do with anxiety, and what God’s Word says about asking for help.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How do I tell my mom I’m not okay?Hey doll. There’s something you’ve been meaning to tell your mama. Maybe you’ve almost said it a few times. In the kitchen. On the drive home from practice. Right before she turned off your light. And every single time, you decided later would be better.Telling your mama you’re struggling with anxiety is scary. It means admitting you’re not quite as “fine” as you’ve let her believe. You don’t want her to feel like she did something wrong, you don’t want her to panic, and you definitely don’t want her to brush it off. So you wait for the right time. But here’s the truth, baby sis: the perfect moment to have a difficult conversation doesn’t exist. The best we can do is find the calmest one.This one’s for you and your mama, so listen together or go grab her after.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Is my anxiety bad enough to get help? If you’ve ever asked yourself that, lying in bed replaying your whole day, this one’s for you.Anxiety is everywhere right now. Everybody’s “so anxious” about the test, the game, the group chat. So when your stomach turns, your heart races, and your brain won’t stop picking apart every little thing, it’s easy to decide that’s just normal, and that other girls need help way more than you do.Baby sis, that’s not humility. That’s the anxiety talking. And I know, because in high school I sat across from a school counselor and convinced her I was totally fine.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
