• 110 | Social Anxiety Is Lying to You About Who to Trust 03.07.2026 14dk

  Here's the thing about social anxiety — it doesn't stay in the hallway at school. You know that feeling, right? Like everyone's eyes are on you, and your brain's already running through every way you could mess this up? That feeling doesn't clock out when the bell rings. It follows you home. It follows you straight into your closest friendships — the ones that actually matter — and has you replaying a text for the hundredth time, wondering if she's mad at you.And here's what's so sneaky about it: social anxiety doesn't just make you doubt yourself. It makes you doubt the people who are actually safe — the ones who really do have your back. So today, I'm giving you 3 clear signs — no guessing, no overthinking — that tell you exactly who you can actually trust.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why social anxiety doesn't just make you doubt yourself — it makes you doubt the people who are actually safe The real reason your mind won't stop replaying that text (and how to bring yourself back to the present) A simple pros-and-cons tool to check anxious thoughts against what you actually know to be true The 3 signs that tell you exactly who you can trust — Active Support, Honesty, and Mutual Respect Why trusting your gut again is the first step back to real peace Here's what I want you to do this week: think of one friend, just one, and run her through these three signs. Not to go looking for reasons to cut her off — but to actually see her clearly, instead of through the fog of lies your anxiety's been telling you. And girl, that clarity? That's where your peace starts to come back.xo, Kristen🎧 Be sure to follow or subscribe so you don't miss anything!LET'S CONNECT!

• 109 | Why Does Nobody Tell Teen Girls God Leads You Through Anxiety, Not Around It? 30.06.2026 13dk

  Hey doll! I spent last week as a fully unhinged VBS volunteer — and the Ireland theme (sheep, highland cows, Psalm 23) would not let me go. Because I kept thinking about you.Here's something nobody tells teen girls enough: God is not trying to get you around your anxiety. He's not promising to remove the hard stuff before you walk through it. Psalm 23 is actually really clear about this — and once you see it, you can't unsee it. In this episode: Why David wrote Psalm 23 in the middle of danger — and why that changes everything How the enemy really shows up (hint: not with a pitchfork) Why Psalm 23 is a battle plan, not a calm-down script What "He leads" actually requires of you The Shepherd's Pause — a 4-step tool for the next time anxiety hits xo, KristenLet's connect: Get on the email list: anxiouschristianteen.com/insider Join the free community: anxiouschristianteen.com/community Find out what type of anxious teen girl you are: anxiouschristianteen.com/quiz Coaching: anxiouschristianteen.com/coaching  
• 108 | Self-Doubt Is Lying to You — How Teen Girls Can Stop Believing the Worst 26.06.2026 11dk

  Self-doubt is lying to you. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how it does it.You said something in the group chat, walked into a room where everyone seemed to have it together, or typed a text four times before deleting it — and that voice kicked in. Something is wrong with me. I'm so embarrassing. I don't belong here.That voice feels like truth. It sounds like you. But baby sis, it is not.In this episode, we're talking about where self-doubt really comes from, why it's so hard to catch, and one simple question you can ask when the spiral starts.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why self-doubt is a lie — not a personality trait or a diagnosis How Satan uses your own voice to make the lie feel believable The pattern that shows up every single time (hint: it's always right before the brave thing) What Romans 8:1 says about the voice that tears you down One practical question to ask yourself when the self-doubt spiral starts You are not broken. You are not too sensitive. You are a girl with an enemy who knows your weak spots — and a God who already told you the truth about who you are.xo,Kristen 🎧 Be sure to follow or subscribe so you don't miss anything!

  Ever feel like Jesus is up there keeping score — tallying every mistake, disappointed in you again? That voice you're hearing? It might not be who you think.In this episode, I'm joined by John Merrill Kirkman, host of Walking with the Savior, for a conversation about anxiety, identity, and the sneaky lies that keep so many of us stuck.

We break down "SCAM" (Spiritual Critic And Manipulator) and how to recognize when your own thoughts are actually attacks on your worth. And John shares a simple tool you can use anytime your anxiety starts spiraling — one that takes about 90 seconds and works with your faith, not against it.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why Jesus is your teammate, not your referee How to spot "SCAM" thoughts before they take over A 90-second tool to bring your anxiety down in real time Why repentance isn't about shame — it's about restoring relationship How shifting your focus outward (instead of inward) can quiet anxiety Why you don't have to wait for "your moment" to find purpose You are not too much, and you are not behind.

  Hey doll! Can I ask you something? Have you ever felt anxious and then felt guilty about it — like maybe your anxiety meant your faith wasn't strong enough? Like a good Christian girl shouldn't struggle with this?Let me just tell you: that is not what the Bible says.In this episode, we're digging into what Scripture says about anxiety — and it might surprise you. God didn't just tell us not to worry and move on. He came back to this topic over and over again, which tells me He knows exactly what it feels like to be you. We'll look at what the Bible says, why having anxiety doesn't make you faithless, and walk away with three real, practical things you can start doing this week.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the Bible talks about anxiety so much — and what that tells us about God The truth about anxiety and faith (hint: you can have both) What specific scriptures actually say — in plain language Three practical tools rooted in Scripture for managing anxiety in your everyday life A simple challenge to try this week You are not broken because you struggle with anxiety.

  Hey doll! Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking why did I say it like that? Or maybe someone took what you said completely wrong — and now there's awkwardness or drama you didn't even start. Ya girl has been there, and I'm here to tell you: it's not always what you're saying. A lot of the time, it's how you're saying it — and you might not even realize there's a pattern.In this episode, we're breaking down the four communication styles and helping you figure out which one you're defaulting to — and more importantly, how to start shifting toward the one that actually gets you heard, keeps your friendships healthy, and helps you stop replaying every conversation before you fall asleep.What You'll Learn in This Episode: The four communication styles and what they actually look like in real life Why the "just stay quiet" approach is still a communication style — and what it's costing you How anxiety shows up in the way you communicate (and why it makes total sense) What it looks like to say what you mean without starting a war Why your communication style might be different with your friends than with your family A simple, practical homework challenge to help you practice this week The way you communicate is a skill — not a personality trait.

Maybe you've even had it said to you at just the right moment when you needed to hear something. "I am enough." It sounds kind. It sounds empowering. But what if it's actually making your anxiety worse?In this episode, I'm sharing what convicted me in Sunday School a few weeks ago — and why "I am enough" is a phrase that, through a Christian lens, is doing more damage than good. We'll talk about the Prove-It Trap, why the harder you pull to get out of it the tighter it gets, and what to say instead that actually sets you free.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why "I am enough" is a lie when viewed through a Christian worldview How believing you're enough on your own merit quietly separates you from God What the Prove-It Trap is and why you're probably already in one Why this trap looks like confidence from the outside — and exhaustion on the inside The simple reframe that repositions your worth from something you create to something you receive You were never meant to hold yourself up.
