Hi, I’m Ivanna Baron. Welcome! I share my story and experiences to help and encourage others. I’m a Christ follower, wife, and mom of two. I’m also an Air Force veteran, writer, certified Christian Life Coach, and mental health and wellness advocate. I have a master’s degree in management and a bachelor’s degree in social psychology. When I’m not working or writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, caring for my houseplants, working out, and drinking coffee.

I understand how life challenges and circumstances can impact lives; I’ve experienced this firsthand. At one point in my life, after a series of challenging events, I began to experience severe anxiety; this was one of the darkest times in my life.

After suffering for a while, I decided I did not want to live in that dark place, and I sought help. I leaned into my faith in God through prayer and fasting, and I gained control of my thoughts through behavioral therapy.

I also made lifestyle changes, including establishing a consistent exercise routine and improving my diet. I surveyed my environment and decluttered things that were adding stress to my life. I also eliminated activities and habits that no longer served me. I’m grateful to God that, by making the changes I mentioned and trusting Him, I have the tools I need to cope with and overcome anxiety whenever it arises.

I now share my story and experiences through my writing to help and encourage others facing similar challenges. Please find my latest writing below and subscribe to stay updated. Thank you for stopping by.
