Pastor's Kid battling Panic Attacks

What happens when a pastor’s kid, raised to be perfect, faces real-life chaos?

Victoria Bowers grew up thinking she had to hold it all together. Marriage, motherhood, and military life seemed picture-perfect… until it all unraveled.

Deployments. A challenging second child. A global pandemic. Panic attacks. But it was in the unraveling that she found freedom—not from fixing the chaos, but from surrendering the need to control it.

🧎‍♀️One honest prayer on her knees changed everything. No more panic. No more perfection. Just peace.

“There’s so much beauty in the mess,” she says now. “When it’s not perfect, that’s where God shows His glory.”

If you’ve been striving to get it right, but it’s breaking you instead—this one’s for you.
