105 | The Battle Before Church: Anxiety, Lies & Showing Up Anyway

from Wellness Farm Chat · host Brooke Perwal

In this episode of Wellness Farm Chat, I’m sharing something I experience almost every single week—anxiety, doubt, and heavy thoughts right before going to church.As a mom of five young children, often going alone while my husband works shift hours, it would be easy to stay home. And honestly… sometimes I feel like I should. The thoughts come in strong—telling me I don’t belong, that my kids are too loud, that no one really wants me there.But every single time I choose to go anyway, I’m met with encouragement, kindness, and undeniable reminders that God is present and working.If you’ve ever felt anxious before church, struggled with feeling unseen, or wondered if it’s worth the effort to go—this episode is for you.You’re not alone, and there is purpose in showing up.I’m proud to partner with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Better Basics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a Canadian company creating FLOUR that is safe, sustainable, and family-friendly .
