Hyper-independent with Mid-life Anxiety? Why and How God Can Help

from Anchored Not Anxious · host Terri Hutchinson

You were raised to handle things yourself — figure it out, don't ask, don't need. And for a long time, that worked. Until it didn't.If you're a midlife woman wrestling with anxiety, chronic worry, or overwhelm, there's a good chance the very strength that kept you standing has quietly become the ceiling on your healing. In this episode, we're taking an honest look at hyper-independence — that deeply ingrained habit of going it alone — and how it may be feeding your anxiety more than fixing it.I'll walk you through a short self-assessment to help you recognize your own patterns, and then we'll talk about what it actually looks like to pause self-reliance aka hyper-independence — not abandon your capability, but open a door for God to move in the places your best thinking can't reach.There's a room in your heart where Jesus is already seated and already asking, "What's going on?" This episode will help you find your way to that table.Get The Anchored Life twice-monthly email.
