Hi, I’m Ivanna Baron. I’m a Christ-follower, wife, and mother of two. I am also an Air Force veteran, writer, encourager, and certified life coach. I have a master’s degree in management and a bachelor’s in social psychology. In addition to writing and creating content, I enjoy spending time with my family, caring for my houseplants, and exercising.

I understand that life can be challenging at times. As a 40-something woman, I’ve lived long enough to have experienced my fair share of challenges. At one point in my life, after a series of challenging and stressful circumstances, I began to experience anxiety. This was one of the darkest times in my life. After suffering for a while, I decided I did not want to stay in that dark place, and I sought help.

I got control of my thought life, learned more about anxiety, and found tools to help me cope through behavioral therapy. I implemented a consistent exercise routine and cleaned up my diet and my environment, eliminating clutter and removing things that triggered anxiety. I also focused on my overall personal growth by deepening my faith through prayer and fasting and starting a journaling practice.

I believe in learning and growing from every challenge I face, and I also believe in encouraging others. So, on my website and social media, I share my story and experiences to help and encourage others who may be facing the same things I’ve faced, and share the tips and tools I’ve learned along the way.

Here, you’ll find articles that encourage you to persevere through life’s challenges, find joy in the everyday, and trust God through it all. Thank you for visiting. I hope you find something helpful and encouraging here today. Join my newsletter for updates, and shop my books for more encouragement.
