The Godly Habits Podcast: Wellness for Christian Women Facing Anxiety, Stress, and Burnout
The Godly Habits Podcast with Dr. Mason and Brooklynn Howe offers practical, relatable, and authentic wellness advice that is rooted in Scripture and backed by research. As a husband-and-wife duo, Dr. Mason and Brooklynn use their backgrounds in medicine, mental health, and biblical counseling to help Christian women navigate hard times like anxiety, stress, burnout, and overwhelm.

- Glorify God with your mind and body—and live the abundant life He designed for you
If you're tired of one-size-fits-all advice or hollow Christian platitudes, and you’re craving real, faith-based conversations about anxiety, habits, stress, and whole-person wellness—this podcast will feel like chatting with a trusted friend over a cup of coffee, offering biblical hope, clarity, and practical support for your hardest seasons.

Anxiety I Can't Shake: Symptom Clarity, Christian Help, and Holistic Relief
Episode 9
Racing thoughts. Tight chest. Exhaustion you can’t explain. If you’ve been silently suffering, wondering whether it’s stress or something deeper — this episode is for you.
We break down anxiety symptoms in the body and mind, how anxiety affects habit formation, and why getting help is not weakness, it’s wisdom. You’ll learn the difference between worry and clinical anxiety, hear hope-filled insight from both a Biblical counselor and a family physician, and explore gentle, faith-based options for support and relief.
We also address the rising trend of anxiety pens and other quick fix gimmicks and why real, lasting relief comes from truth and trusted care, not trendy shortcuts. Anxiety isn't just mental, it affects our body, habits, relationships, and spirit. That's why true healing takes a holistic approach that addresses the whole person.
🌿 This Week’s Gentle Step:
Instead of a “quick win,” we’re offering a gentle step — a self-evaluation called the Beck Anxiety Inventory. This 21-question checklist helps you notice what symptoms you’ve experienced over the past week — and how strongly. It’s not a diagnosis, but it can be a helpful tool to bring with you to a trusted healthcare provider. It can also give you language for what you’ve been carrying — and that’s a powerful step toward healing.
