    Postpartum Anxiety: The Silent Weight Every New Mother Carries (And Why No One Talks About It)

    The Silent Weight Every New Mother Carries (And Why No One Talks About It)

    You know that feeling when you’re constantly checking if the baby is still breathing? When your mind races through every possible danger, even when everyone tells you to “just relax and enjoy motherhood”?

    That’s not postpartum depression. That’s something different—something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.

    While postpartum depression has finally entered mainstream conversations, there’s another condition silently affecting countless new mothers: postpartum anxiety. And if you’re experiencing it, you’ve probably noticed that people don’t talk about it the same way. There’s less support. Fewer resources. And a lot more confusion about what you’re actually experiencing.

    The Invisible Burden You’re Carrying

    Here’s what most people don’t realize: postpartum anxiety can be even more exhausting than depression because your nervous system is constantly in overdrive. You’re not just sad—you’re vigilant. Always on alert. Your body feels like it’s carrying the weight of the entire world on your shoulders, and no amount of sleep (when you can get it) seems to help.

    The intrusive thoughts. The catastrophic thinking. The physical tension that makes your jaw ache and your shoulders feel like concrete. You thought motherhood would feel joyful, but instead it feels like you’re constantly bracing for disaster.

    And the worst part? You feel guilty for feeling this way when you “should” be grateful and happy.

    What I Discovered After Researching This Hidden Crisis

    When I dove deep into understanding postpartum anxiety, I came across something fascinating: there’s a biological component to this that nobody warned us about. Your body has undergone massive hormonal shifts, neurotransmitter changes, and physical stress that would impact anyone’s nervous system—but we’re expected to just “power through” like it’s normal.

    The mothers I’ve worked with describe it perfectly: it’s like their internal alarm system got stuck in the “on” position and they can’t figure out how to reset it.

    But here’s the breakthrough moment: when you address both the physical and emotional components together, that crushing weight starts to lift. Not overnight, but genuinely and sustainably.

    The Missing Piece Most Approaches Ignore

    Traditional advice focuses on either mental health support OR physical wellness. But postpartum anxiety lives at the intersection of both. Your body needs specific nutritional support to rebuild neurotransmitter balance while your mind needs tools to calm that overactive nervous system.

    During my research into solutions that address both sides of this equation, I found something that brings these concepts together in a way I hadn’t seen before: SolleReNūe from Solle Naturals. What caught my attention was how it specifically targets the body’s stress response and supports the nervous system from a cellular level—not just masking symptoms but actually helping your body rebalance itself.

    The mothers who’ve implemented this comprehensive approach report something powerful: they don’t feel like they’re white-knuckling their way through each day anymore. That constant underlying panic starts to quiet down. They can finally be present with their babies without their minds spiraling into worst-case scenarios.

    Why Acting Now Matters

    Every day you spend carrying this invisible weight is a day you can’t get back. Your baby’s newborn phase is fleeting, and you deserve to experience it without this constant undercurrent of anxiety stealing your joy.

    The sooner you address both the physical and emotional components of postpartum anxiety, the faster you can reclaim the motherhood experience you imagined—one where you feel capable, present, and like yourself again.

    Everything we’ve discussed comes together in one comprehensive solution that addresses what your body needs to heal and what your nervous system needs to regulate. You can explore the complete approach here and see exactly how to apply these insights to your specific situation.

    You’re not broken. You’re not failing at motherhood. Your body just needs the right support to reset. And you don’t have to carry the whole world on your shoulders anymore.

    With love, Julianne

  • “I Don’t Know How To Do Eyeshadow”

    “I Don’t Know How To Do Eyeshadow”

    Hey Sis,

    If you have ever found yourself saying that, then this is for you.

    First off, as woman of faith, let’s drop speaking doubt over ourselves this year.

    When did Jesus ever say “I don’t know?”

    Let’s speak life…

    God will show me because it is written…My sheep hear my voice, i know them and they follow Me.

    I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.

    Let’s start off with a shade that looks beautiful on every skin tone, regardless of your hair color or ability to apply eyeshadow.

    After spending over 20 years applying eyeshadows, and the eyes are my favorite part of makeup… i’ve found a stunning eyeshadow brand that is clean and blends like a dream.

    I used to spend soooo much time blending colors, now it almost does the work for you.

    No more spending 20 minutes in the mirror to end up looking like circus clown.

    Feeling embarrassed.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Swirl the fluffy end of your eyeshadow brush onto your eyeshadow.
    2. Tap off any access powder.
    3. Tap your eyeshadow three times on to your lid (this is what will transfer the product from the bristles to you eyelid so easy and effortlessly.)
    4. Next Blend the color out sweeping it gently from the bottom on the eyelid to the top by your eyebrow using a right to left motion.
    5. Bam. All done. Feeling confident and glowing. It will look something like this. Effective yet so classy and professional.
    This is me. Raw and unfiltered with my Check Mate Palette. I call it Check Mate because Jesus Christ is on the throne and we know IT IS FINISHED

    Here is everything you need.

    I used the lighter shade to brighten the inner corner of my eyes.

    God bless you, warrior.

    Stay close to Abbe

  • Fasting & Prayer Day 1

    Fasting & Prayer Day 1

    Hi beloved,

    Some people ask, why fast?

    Well, I think of it like a spiritual cleanse, from all sorts of things for example like trauma, emotional woundedness, grief, or strongholds, other things like you genuinely wanna seek God’s face and increase your intimacy or fasting for loved ones, spiritual breakthrough or something that God is telling you to… there’s so many reasons.

    I hadn’t fasted for a while because I was pregnant, and now that I’m not, I find myself running into the Lord with all of my heart, that He would heal me & our family from the recent loss of our son.

    There are other reasons.

    You know when you reach that point in your life, some people might call it a turning point, you know something very deep inside of you has changed and you feel as though you’re ready to pay a price for God‘s presence that was not fully there before as He desired.

    Because it is costly to constantly be in His presence- but you know what? it is far MORE costly to choose to not being in His presence.

    And far more painful.

    When you don’t put God first you start to put other things first, whether it be people, items, food, platforms, social media, ministry … It’s whatever it is to that person. And that’s a very dangerous place to be, because that is the heart of idolatry.

    I’ve never felt a grief or more painful thing then this miscarriage and losing my son and it’s my heart that no woman ever experience that.

    I am mainly doing a water fast and herbal teas. No sugar no honey.

    Everyone had a different place in their walk with God but through this great pain I’ve discovered a true yieldedness and a desire for oneness with the Lord.

    this requires a lot of being completely honest with yourself as you look at your heart and you allow Him to plow and to plow and to remove the rocks and the stones and the boulders and remove everything in it that’s not of Him, every ounce and spec of pharaoh …of Babylon, every pain, every woundedness.

    And I know that fasting has in the past greatly helped- It’s been a complete lifeline and it is so powerful that I cannot even describe it but it something that must be experienced.

    So I am doing a short three day fast.

    And if you are fasting as well I pray that the Lord meets you strongly, and that you will always put Him first no matter the cost.

    May your new year be a continual feast of His presence.

    May your heart be joyful and filled with hope and may you get every ounce of healing that you need.

    I love you with all of my heart, JC.

    And if you are wondering what herbal tea I’m fasting on here they are. This covers a 3 day fast for me.

    Stay close to the Holy Spirit and God bless you.

    Also, if you suffered a miscarriage let me share what was told to me: THE FAULT IS NOT YOUR OWN BUT THE ENEMYS. THERE IS NOW THEREFORE NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST.

  • 3 Day New year’s Fast

    3 Day New year’s Fast

    Why Your Spiritual Exhaustion Isn’t a Character Flaw—It’s a Divine Invitation

    You’ve been running on fumes for so long, you’ve forgotten what it feels like to operate from overflow instead of obligation.

    Every morning you wake up already tired. You serve, you give, you show up—but somewhere along the way, the joy leaked out. Your calling feels heavy instead of life-giving. And the worst part? You feel guilty for even admitting it.

    Here’s what most women of faith don’t realize: Your exhaustion isn’t evidence that you’re failing—it’s evidence that you’ve been fighting battles God never asked you to carry alone.

    The Hidden Cost of Spiritual Burnout

    When you’re spiritually depleted, everything suffers. Your patience with your family. Your creativity in your calling. Your confidence in showing up fully as the woman God designed you to be.

    You start avoiding mirrors—not just physical ones, but the spiritual ones too. You know you’re not stewarding your temple well, but every solution feels like one more thing on an already impossible to-do list. The shame compounds. The isolation deepens.

    And if nothing changes? This becomes your new normal. A muted version of the abundant life you were promised. A shadow of the inheritance that’s rightfully yours.

    The Reset Your Spirit Is Begging For

    What looks like a breaking point is often God’s invitation to a breakthrough. That moment when you’ve had enough pain, when you’re finally ready to fight for your promised land instead of just surviving in the wilderness—that’s sacred ground.

    The women who experience divine restoration don’t wait for burnout to magically resolve itself. They create intentional space to hear what God is saying in the silence. They fast from the noise. They reset their spiritual foundations.

    And here’s what I discovered: the fastest way to move from breaking point to breakthrough isn’t adding more to your plate—it’s strategically removing what’s clouding your connection to divine guidance.

    When Fasting Becomes Your Strategic Advantage

    Most people think fasting is about deprivation. But what I’ve found is that it’s actually about clarity. It’s about creating space for God to restore what the world has depleted.

    Starting the new year with an intentional fast- Your spiritual hearing sharpens. Your confidence rebuilds. Your sense of purpose reignites.

    You’re not just abstaining from food. You’re putting down the burdens you were never meant to carry and picking up the inheritance you were always meant to claim.

    Your Divine Restoration Is Waiting

    Everything we’ve discussed—the exhaustion, the shame, the breaking points that refuse to become breakthroughs—comes together in one comprehensive solution.

    I came across something that addresses exactly this intersection of spiritual weariness and divine calling: When Breaking Points Become Breakthrough Moments: Your Divine Restoration Awaits.

    This isn’t another complicated system or guilt-inducing program. It’s a tested approach that integrates naturally into your life—because transformation doesn’t require perfection, it requires proximity to God’s voice.

    You’ll discover exactly how to steward the temple God gave you without shame, how to show up fully in your calling without exhaustion, and how to claim your spiritual inheritance starting now—not someday when you finally “get it together.”

    The sooner you create this intentional space, the faster you’ll experience the restoration you’ve been praying for. This year doesn’t have to look like last year. Your breaking point can become your breakthrough moment.

    Your divine restoration is already waiting. The only question is whether you’re ready to step into it.

    I will be doing a 3 day water/ herbal tea fast Jan 1-3, you are welcome to join.

    Join me on my social media account.

    God bless, love JC

  • Why I Put Caffeine On My Face Almost Everyday

    Why I Put Caffeine On My Face Almost Everyday

    Alright beloved Mama,

    Have you heard of microcirculation?

    So essentially the caffeine draws the nurtients in your body to the area where it’s applied.

    In this case the face.

    Here’s why it matters to you.

    As we grow in grace, it becomes very evident in the face.

    Smiles lines, elevens, undereye lines, eye bags, crows feet, you name if, every woman feels it and let’s be honest, we much prefer to look as young and radiant as we can.

    Why is some 40 year olds look 20? Yet some 18 yr olds look 38?

    Well its alot of factors, diet, workout, lymphatic drainage, supplements, stress levels and spirituality.

    Heres what I found on my search to tighten eyebags. Caffeine gave me real results. The catch? I had to use it 4-5x per day to see noticeable changes. Most woman don’t wanna commit to this, but when it’s in a mist and actually pleasurable- this changes the game.

    I get asked questions about this skin glow. This is part of my routine ive been using for about 2 years now.

    I love it and ima keep going.

    This caffeine face mist also has some other things that my skin LOVES

    1. Glycerin helps retain moisture, balances redness, and protects against environmental stressors, fortifying the skin.
    2. Caffeine stimulates circulation, brightens dull skin, and supports collagen production with its antioxidative properties.
    3. Alpine Flower extract works to calm the skin and even out tone, contributing to a more balanced complexion.
    4. So the plants in this are actually going to PROTECT your skin barrier. They provide deep hydration, think of it like a fresh spring watering your beautiful rose garden. It’s not just superficial “face junk food” that looks good but does nothing. It also helps your face to look for plump with hylauronic acid.

    This gives such a beautiful skin glow with glass skin vibes.

    Even on days where I don’t wear makeup, I spray this on my face throughout the day.

    It’s also the prefect “touch up” mist for your midday art fun time.

    It’s such a treat. I swear it gets me in a better mood too.

    And that’s always a massive plus for me.

    I can’t recommend it enough. It also helps to keep my cream makeup in place. It works well.

    Any how Mama, I pray that this blessed you.

    Love you, JC
