Episode 2: Pull the Weeds and Add Water
Most people who feel anxious are not broken. They are overwhelmed. In this episode, a country doctor sits down for a front-porch conversation about why anxiety so often starts with overload, not weakness, and how ignoring what drains us can slowly wear down both body and soul. Using the simple picture of life as a garden, we talk about what happens when weeds are left unchecked, why trimming is not the same as pulling at the root, and how unfilled space invites more chaos instead of peace. We explore how overwhelm affects the nervous system, sleep, blood pressure, and overall health, and why clarity and healing often begin with stewardship rather than self-blame. This episode also touches on the role of intentional rest, including short periods of fasting, as a way some people reset their bodies and minds, and why removing what steals life must be paired with adding what nourishes it. Grounded in medicine, common sense, and quiet faith, this is an invitation to slow down, take ownership of your ground, and tend what God has entrusted to you. Sometimes peace does not come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from pulling the weeds… and adding water.
