27. High-Functioning Anxiety: The Triumphs in the Traumas with Dr. Lisa Hartwell

Welcome to Episode 27 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
A little while ago, I was honored when Dr. Lisa Hartwell invited me to be a guest on the Anxiety Ease Podcast. We had an interesting conversation about the ways high-functioning anxiety has played a role in my traumas and how I worked through them. Sometimes helpful; other times, not-so-much.
 
You don't have to have a medical diagnosis of anxiety to experience high-functioning anxiety. Join us as we discuss what this has looked like in my life and make sure you check out the other episodes of the Anxiety Ease podcast!

26. Can Abortion and Forgiveness Co-Exist? Brittany Poppe Offers Hope and Healing After Trauma

Welcome to Episode 26 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
Does God Forgive Abortion? That is the heart of this week's episode. Brittany Poppe and I agree that this is a question that weighs heavily on many women's minds after their abortions. And it's a question that may lead many of those women to stay in their shame and guilt feelings and not seek help. But Brittany has a different answer; one that offers hope and healing.
Join us as Brittany Poppe shares her own story: why she made the choice she did, what happened after that decision, and what she's doing now to help other women.
