You Can Overcome Anxiety by Rita Bowman

This eBook is one of Rita Bowman's most popular publications available as a free download. Inside of this ebook, you will learn:

  • How Changes in Your Thinking Can Change Your Life
  • The Thoughts that Affects Behavior and Ability to Function
  • How to Improve Physical Outcomes
  • How to build Stronger and Healthier Relationships
  • The Power of Hope

Do you feel like you’re stuck and can’t move forward?

Rita Bowman helps women, especially those carrying the weight of trauma, fear, or self-doubt, step into the freedom and confidence God designed them for.

Here’s the truth: ignoring your pain doesn’t make it disappear, it only keeps you from the life you were created to live. But the good news is that you don’t have to stay stuck. You’re here, and that means you’re already taking the first step toward healing and transformation.

God has a divine order for success.

Breakthrough doesn’t happen by accident, it happens when faith meets action. When you embrace biblical truth and pair it with practical strategies, you open the door to lasting transformation.

Rita has walked this road herself and has developed a framework rooted in God’s Word that anyone can follow to rise above their circumstances and step boldly into their calling.

Life will always bring challenges, but what if you could not only endure them, but rise stronger, with unshakable faith? Through her speaking, workshops, and coaching programs, Rita equips women to anchor themselves in God’s promises, extend their “up” seasons, and overcome the “down” ones with resilience and hope.

You don’t have to stay where you are. God’s plan for your life is greater, and with the right tools, encouragement, and faith, you can step into it fully.

We can help you achieve greater success, faster, and with fewer setbacks.

COACHING

Even world changers and leaders need support to rise higher. Just as professional athletes, world leaders, and successful entrepreneurs rely on coaches, women of faith can also benefit from having a coach who helps them.

Rita’s coaching will give you the tools, encouragement, and faith-filled strategies to help you walk in freedom.

"I have been working with Rita Bowman over the past year. I appreciate her Biblical wisdom, mental health knowledge, and the warmth over the past year, specifically for the support she gives while I am dealing with situations that heighten my anxiety and depression.

Knowing that Rita is just a text away has been a HUGE blessing during this extremely difficult time. My mental health has improved over the past year, as I have shorter periods of not being able to function normally. Rita's expertise in mental health has proven very beneficial to my complex circumstances. Often being reminded that God has this under control and that I am a child of God. I am thankful for the time spent under Rita's professional care."

Alternative Dispute Relations Meditor, Midwest

"It has been my pleasure to work alongside Mrs. Rita Bowman in the family law mediation sector. As a mediator, she had to listen and help facilitate an agreement between many contentious parties. I witnessed as she listened with compassion and offered wise counsel to each party. I have spoken with many couples who have employed her as a marital counselor and have experienced restoration of their marriage. Rita is a Godsend!"
