“Depression and anxiety are bullies. They push every other emotion aside, but God gives us the power to push back.” – Tricia
Feeling down, anxious, or just… off? You’re not alone. Carol, Tricia, and Kelly dive deep into the realities of depression and anxiety, especially during the colder months. From their own struggles to practical ways to fight back, the girls get real about mental health and faith.
Ever feel guilty about needing alone time? Struggle to get out of a funk? Wonder if God is even listening? The girls share what’s helped them, from therapy to scripture to a good old-fashioned walk outside. This episode is full of honest conversation, practical encouragement, and the reminder that you are never alone.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Your thoughts shape your emotions – The self-talk you engage in can either fuel anxiety or help bring peace. Replacing lies with truth from Scripture is a game-changer.
- Connection is healing – Isolation can make depression and anxiety worse. Even small steps like meeting a friend for coffee or joining a Bible study can bring light into dark seasons.
- Faith isn’t about having it all together – It’s okay to be honest with God about your struggles. He meets us where we are, even when we don’t have the strength to run to Him first.
