Hey, I’m Kristen — your big sis in faith and Teen Anxiety Coach. When I was a teen, I struggled with anxiety and insecurity. I overthought everything — what I wore, what I said, how I performed on the court. 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. What changed? I finally realized peace wasn’t about becoming a different girl. It was about learning practical emotional skills and anchoring them in my identity in Christ. That shift changed everything. Now, I help girls just like you stop living in their heads and start living from a place of steadiness and truth. If you’re ready to: • Stop overthinking every interaction • Worry less about what people think • Navigate friendships without losing yourself • Manage anxiety in real-life situations • Build confidence rooted in Christ — not performance This podcast is for you. So grab your coziest hoodie, your favorite loaded tea, and let’s talk about what it actually looks like to live as a peaceful, steady Christian teen girl in today’s world.

If you struggle with social anxiety, you’ve probably heard the advice: “Just fake confidence.” “Act like you belong.” “Fake it ’til you make it.” And maybe you’ve tried. You walk into the room, try to look calm, try to sound confident… but inside your brain is running a thousand thoughts at once. “Do I look awkward?” “Did that sound weird?” “Why did I say that?” If you’re a Christian teen girl who deals with social anxiety or ...

If that sounds familiar, you’re not weird — and you’re definitely not alone.

You feel butterflies. You feel excited. But you also feel anxious. Overthinking. On edge. If you’re a Christian teen girl wondering whether what you’re feeling is love… or and insecure attachment, this episode is going to give you clarity. Because sometimes what feels intense isn’t actually healthy — it’s anxiety attaching itself to attention. And you deserve love — real love — that feels steady, not shaky.
