Do you ever feel like your thoughts are draining you more than the people around you? In this episode of the podcast, Tanya unpacks how our own minds can act like “energy vampires,” robbing us of peace, joy, and even physical health.

Discover the connection between chronic stress, cortisol, and functional health, and why your body can’t tell the difference between real events and the thoughts you replay over and over. Tanya also shares what Scripture teaches about renewing our minds and taking every thought captive—and how these truths align beautifully with what science reveals about the brain and body.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why negative thought loops trigger the same stress response as real danger
  • How chronic stress disrupts digestion, hormones, and immunity
  • Practical ways to pause, redirect, and reframe thoughts using both science and Scripture
  • Small, daily habits that busy women can use to protect their peace and restore energy
  • How practicing thought stewardship can help you lead, live, and love with greater freedom

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in worry, fear, or self-criticism, this episode will help you find practical tools and faith-filled encouragement to reclaim your joy and energy.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya
