If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in perfectionism, or wondered how to handle tough emotions—this episode is for you.


Today, Natalie sits down with author, neuro coach, and Christian mindset expert Alicia Michelle for a powerful conversation on emotional healing, faith, and practical neuroscience.


Breaking Free from Anxiety & Perfectionism: How to Harness Your Faith, Science, and Simple Tools to Find Emotional Freedom with Alicia Michelle


Alicia shares her remarkable story from a life-altering health crisis that forced her to reevaluate everything, to her journey uncovering the root causes of anxiety and perfectionism in her own life and in the lives of countless women she now helps. Together, Natalie and Alicia dive deep into how our emotions, subconscious patterns, and faith intersect, and why “pushing through” isn’t always the answer.


This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to:



  • Understand the real science behind why we get emotionally stuck (and how to get unstuck)



  • Learn simple, practical methods—from calming your nervous system to Alicia’s “ADD” model—for managing emotions in the moment



  • Discover the power of self-compassion, honesty, and faith when facing overwhelm, anger, or doubt



  • Break the cycle of hustle, proving, and perfection and step into God’s invitation to authentic living


If you’ve ever found yourself reacting in ways you wish you could control, felt like your worth depends on doing more, or just want to model healthy emotional habits for your kids—this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and tools you can start using today.
