The Pressure to Be Perfect Is Killing Your Faith (Part 2) | Sarah Wiseman

In Part 2, the conversation goes deeper. Sarah Wiseman opens up about anxiety, depression, motherhood, and the reality of navigating mental health while trying to follow Jesus. From panic attacks to hormonal struggles like PMDD, this is the stuff most people don’t talk about — especially in church. We also talk about raising kids while you’re struggling, dealing with criticism, and why your weakness doesn’t disqualify you from being used by God. This is real faith — not filtered, not perfect. In this episode: Anxiety and depression in everyday life Mental health during pregnancy and motherhood PMDD and the hormonal side of mental illness Raising kids while you’re struggling Owning your mistakes and repairing relationships Why weakness doesn’t disqualify you Living with faith even when healing isn’t instant A standout moment in this episode is the honesty around mental health — not hiding it, but bringing it into the light where God actually meets people CONNECT Listen to more episodes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/sunburnt-souls-a-christian-mental-health-podcast/id1728936182 Follow Sarah Wiseman: https://www.instagram.com/sarah.a.wiseman/ Listen to “Sit Down With Sarah”: https://open.spotify.com/show/0LGxpsG9HXCtVjb5A0P1mR Sunburnt Souls Unhinged is here!
