Beauty from ashes - Blessy Mathew

Many of us have walked through seasons where everything looked perfect on the outside, but we are falling apart on the inside. The feeling of ‘hanging by a thread’ where you constantly feel you are slipping, and the final fall is inevitable. In this episode I am introducing a hero – Blessy Rajan Mathew – who has walked through such a season and according to her, continues to go through those trials where she battles post-partum anxiety, which turned into sometimes facing a never ending wave of fear and anxiety. Struggle with a mental battle is frowned upon in several communities, but here in this podcast season, we are being real and raw to share our battles so that we may bless someone else who is walking the same path. Blessy challenges everyone to – be yourself and God will use you to be a blessing to someone else. She urges anyone who goes through this struggle to seek out strong women/men of God as mentors who will battle with you through this trial, to be plugged in to small groups and communities that can soothe your soul. She reminds us that Jesus is near to us and His arms are always open. Blessy is the mom of 3 beautiful children – Luke, Lilly and the new adorable addition Leia and she is married to Sean.
