After spending more than 30 years living with undiagnosed anxiety, Nicole J. Suvar spent much of her life searching for peace through perfectionism, control, and constant activity - only to find those efforts deepened her unrest. In this episode, Nicole shares how shame and “good Christian” expectations delayed her from seeking help, especially within motherhood and seasons of uncertainty. The conversation explores the difference between stewarding responsibilities and trying to control outcomes, along with practical ways to create more peace through prayer, Sabbath rest, boundaries, and simple daily rhythms that help reset the mind and body.Links Discussed in This Episode |Checkout the podcast storefront for recommendations from Diane.Subscribe to the Minimalist Moms Youtube ChannelNichole's Resource: Merlin Bird ID AppConnect with NicholeWebsiteInstagramBook: I Don't Have to Hold It All Together: Cultivating the Peace of Eden When Feeling Overwhelmed About Nicole|Nichole J.
