Ep 8: The Overlooked Command to Ease Your Mind: Notice the Birds, Observe the Flowers | WITH YOU
Description
In this With You episode, Ashleigh reflects on one of Jesus’s most overlooked commands: “Observe the birds, notice the flowers.” Through gentle storytelling and honest reflection, she explores how slowing down, paying attention, and getting outside can ease your mind and reconnect you to peace.
In this week’s episode, Ashleigh unpacks what she calls her favorite (and most overlooked) Bible command: “Observe the birds, notice the flowers.” Drawing from Matthew 6 and her own “chronically indoorsy” life, she shares how the Divine—as a human—modeled a slower, more embodied kind of spirituality: one that starts with paying attention.
From a backyard coffee break to walks through the Home Depot garden center, Ashleigh explores how practicing awareness—of nature, your body, your kids’ little details—can retrain anxiety, reconnect you to peace, and remind you that you’re cared for.
In this episode:
Why “notice the birds” is the most under-talked-about command of Jesus
How burnout comes from disconnection, not just busyness
A simple daily ritual to retrain your attention and calm your nervous system
Why observing beauty is a form of prayer
Perfect for:Moms, faith-curious listeners, and anyone craving stillness in motion.
