ADHD symptoms in adult women often look like overwhelm, masking, and mental exhaustion—not “hyper little boy” stereotypes. Here’s what to watch for and what to do next.

How to cope with New Year anxiety  — a trauma-informed, faith + mental health plan for when January feels heavy, urgent, or unsettling. By Jennifer Nicole Green, NP-C | Lolli Love Last updated:  January 6, 2026 How to cope with New Year anxiety:  start with a 60-second nervous system reset  (longer exhales), then choose one tiny next step  (water, food, movement, or a boundary), and add a simple breath prayer  to reconnect with God’s steadiness. New Year anxiety is common bec

Holiday anxiety coping strategies that calm your nervous system, protect your peace, and help you stay rooted in faith—without forcing “perfect holiday joy.”

Silent walking for anxiety relief  — a trauma-informed, faith + mental health practice to calm your nervous system when your mind won’t quiet down. A quick answer for silent walking for anxiety relief Silent walking for anxiety relief  is a simple practice where you walk without  music, podcasts, or scrolling. The goal isn’t fitness or productivity—it’s nervous-system calming. For many people, 5–10 minutes of quiet movement can reduce overstimulation, settle racing thoughts,

If you look “put together” but feel like you’re sprinting on the inside, you may be living with high-functioning anxiety at work.

If you care deeply, you think deeply. Overthinking is often compassion on overdrive. Your worth isn’t measured by solving everything before sunrise. God keeps watch while you sleep.

Why depression may spike now—and why it’s not “just the winter blues.” If you’ve noticed your energy dipping, sleep getting strange, or your hope feeling thin as the days shorten, you’re not alone. Search interest for “seasonal depression” (seasonal affective disorder)  consistently climbs in the fall and peaks around November in the U.S., reflecting a real pattern many of us feel in our bodies and minds. Recent analyses again show November spikes this year, echoing long-obse

Nighttime can amplify the noise in our heads. The good news: your body and brain can learn a calmer rhythm.

f you’re noticing more fatigue, “blah” feelings, or a heavier kind of worry as evenings come earlier—you’re not broken; your body is responding to shorter light windows and rhythm shifts.

You promise yourself an early night… then keep scrolling, reading, or puttering because the day didn’t leave space just for you. That pattern has a name: revenge bedtime procrastination—delaying sleep to reclaim personal time, often on phones, which erodes tomorrow’s mood, focus, and health.

If you’ve ever crawled into bed intending to rest but found yourself an hour later still scrolling grim headlines, you’re not alone. “Doomscrolling” — compulsively consuming distressing news or content — increases stress and anxiety and can disrupt attention and sleep.

If you’re a woman trying to navigate anxiety, burnout, or emotional pain, please hear me — there’s nothing wrong with needing help.

We’re trained to help, to fix, to make things better. And when something breaks — when a relationship falters, when a patient dies, when a child drifts — our hearts interpret it as failure.

Recognize the difference between trauma stillness and holy stillness. Invite Jesus into the physical sensations of fear or numbness.

🌿 When Faith and Healing Finally Meet I used to believe faith meant pushing through. Work harder. Pray longer. Hold it together. Smile when your soul is trembling. But as a nurse practitioner and a survivor, I’ve learned that sometimes our bodies remember pain even after our minds try to move on. The shaking hands, racing heart, sleepless nights — those are the nervous system’s way of saying, “You’ve carried too much for too long.” And for those of us who love God, it can fe

Spiritual wellness is about connecting with something greater than ourselves. It’s a sense of purpose, meaning, and inner peace that can ground us when life feels chaotic.

I didn’t have to outrun my story or overwork for my value. I could be—and be held.

In that quiet, God met me. He didn’t demand more work. He didn’t ask me to push harder. He whispered: rest.

It wasn’t just exhaustion. It was the weight — the invisible one you carry when you care deeply.
