#137- struggling with mental health as a christian (anxiety, eating disorders & healing)

In this vulnerable episode, I open up about my real experiences battling anxiety and two eating disorders as a Christian girl. Mental health struggles are real—even for people of faith—and it’s something the church doesn’t talk about enough.If you’ve ever felt isolated, angry at God, or like you’re drowning even when you’re doing everything “right,” you’re not alone.I see you. God sees you. And this episode is for you.We dive into the pressure Christians face to "have it all together," how perfection culture and stigma in the church can make healing even harder, and the truth that struggling with mental health doesn’t mean you lack faith.I also share my journey through faith-based healing, how Jesus himself handled fear and sadness, and practical steps you can take to heal—with God's help.You are not broken beyond repair. God is still with you in the struggle. Healing is messy, but it’s possible.
