Having a sense of identity lends itself to a sense of belonging. If we know how we define ourselves, it’s easier to find communities and places where we feel like we belong.

Who are you? Do you know? Are you experiencing an identity crisis? Let's talk about it.

Today, I want to share my journey to motherhood. Not because it says anything about me but it ultimately is filled with proof of God’s goodness and how he worked to help me overcome my own mental struggles and fight everyday to be the best mother I can be.

Today we are talking about anxiety. My hope is that you leave this talk today with some tips and encouragement to start fighting your anxiety, continue the fight if you are in the midst of it, and hopefully reach a point where it is not something that hinders you from living life.

If your anxiety is causing thoughts that are making you want to hurt yourself or anyone else, Please Call for help.
