Faith Meets Neuroscience: Overcoming Anxiety in a Culture of Perfectionism

Breaking Free from Anxiety, Perfectionism, and Mom Guilt #momguilt
Guest: Alicia Michelle | The Natalie Tysdal Podcast

If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, mom guilt, or the pressure to “do it all,” this episode is for you.

Natalie sits down with Alicia Michelle—author, neuro coach, and host of The Christian Mindset Coach podcast—to explore how neuroscience, faith, and self-compassion can help us break free from emotional patterns that leave us overwhelmed and burned out.

Alicia shares her personal journey through a life-threatening health scare and years of high-achieving hustle, and how she finally discovered freedom by learning to work with her brain—not against it.

This powerful and practical conversation offers hope, science-backed tools, and a fresh faith-based perspective on emotional health for women, moms, and anyone tired of proving their worth.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Alicia’s health crisis and how it revealed deeply rooted anxiety and performance-based identity
• Why so many women feel like they have to “earn” their worth
• How the brain wires emotional patterns—and how we can change them
• The science behind the parasympathetic nervous system and how to activate it
• Alicia’s ADD Method: a 3-step model to process emotions without shame
• How to model emotional health for your kids
• The connection between faith, mindset, and lasting healing
• Why “faking it” doesn’t work—and what does

This episode is for anyone who wants real change and lasting peace by integrating faith, neuroscience, and compassion.
