Are you an overthinker? Do you find yourself replaying conversations from weeks ago, worrying about every possible outcome, or getting stuck in endless thought spirals? You’re not alone—and this episode is for you.

Join host Heather Creekmore and special guest Erin Kerry—health coach, mental health advocate, and original friend of the show—for an honest, hope-filled conversation about overthinking and how to break free. Erin shares insights from her new book, "Live Beyond Your Label," diving deep into why we overthink, how our bodies and minds respond to stress, and what true relief looks like from both a scientific and biblical perspective.

What you’ll hear in this episode:


How to recognize if you’re an overthinker—and why it’s more common than you think


The physical and emotional roots of overthinking


Why “just take your thoughts captive” isn’t always enough (and what’s missing from that advice)


The body’s built-in responses to stress and fear, and how you can work with your physiology instead of against it


Simple, practical strategies to calm your mind, address anxiety, and ground yourself in truth


Encouragement for Christians who feel stuck, powerless, or alone in their mental battles


How to move forward when labels, diagnoses, or past trauma have left you feeling “broken”

Plus: Erin and Heather talk about slowing down, why true rest matters, and how to build daily habits that soothe both body and soul. You’ll discover you’re not the only one wrestling with these thoughts—and there is real hope for change!

Ready to stop overthinking and start living free? Listen now and be encouraged, empowered, and equipped—with both biblical truth and holistic mental health wisdom.

Are you a Christian woman who’s tired of measuring yourself by the world’s standards? Have you tried to “fix yourself” with willpower, self-help, or even Christian clichés—but still feel like you’re falling short?Do you know the truth of God’s Word, yet struggle to believe it in your daily life?

Bonus: Have you ever wished you could just pray your struggles away in an instant? (Your secret’s safe here.)

Each week, we tackle the real issues Christian women face—comparison, body image issues, performance pressure, insecurity, identity, spiritual maturity, and more—through a practical, grace-filled, gospel-centered lens. You’ll find encouragement to trust God’s Spirit, rest in His promises, and grow deeper in your walk with Christ.

I’m Heather Creekmore—best-selling author, speaker, and follower of Jesus. After decades of chasing approval and perfection, I discovered that true freedom only comes through surrendering to Him.
