About this episode

Tanya reflects on managing anxiety and the importance of surrendering control in the face of life's challenges.

Today's Mini Monday episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast is coming from a very real and tender place. If you woke up feeling overwhelmed, behind, or carrying something heavy before your feet even hit the floor… this episode is for you. Tanya shares an honest reflection on what it means to live through seasons of unexpected change, emotional weight, and the quiet pressures of everyday life. In a world that often pushes us to keep going faster, this episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember what actually matters. You'll be reminded that you are not alone in what you're feeling. Behind every front door are real lives filled with both joy and struggle. And even in the middle of uncertainty, you still have the capacity to move forward. This episode explores the powerful idea that the opposite of anxiety isn't calm… it's surrender. Letting go of what was never ours to carry. Trusting God with what we cannot control. And choosing to take just the next right step. Tanya also brings back one of the most meaningful concepts from the show: Proof the Day Existed. A reminder that progress doesn't have to be big to be meaningful. Showing up counts. Taking a breath…
