When Mental Health Comes On Holidays

from Sunburnt Souls: A Christian Mental Health Podcast · host Dave Quak

You can be standing on a stunning beach with clear water and still wake up feeling dark. After six weeks away, I’m back behind the mic with travel stories from Greece and Turkey that turned into a blunt lesson about mental health: a change of scenery does not automatically change what’s happening inside us. I talk openly about living with bipolar disorder, how depression can arrive without warning, and why your mood can completely contradict your location.We go deeper into anger management and the idea of safety at home, including how a parent’s blowups can put a spouse and kids into nervous system defense mode. I share what I’m learning from professional help, why I’m committing to a 70-day habit change path, and how Scripture like Ephesians 4:31-32 pushes me to trade rage for kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. We also touch on other root struggles many of us carry, from anxiety and control to money obsession and shame, with a clear bottom line: start the work today, wherever you are.If this hits close to home, listen, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find honest conversations about faith, bipolar disorder, anger, and mental well-being.Sunburnt Souls Unhinged is here! Join Dave for a fun night of comedy, stories, raw conversations and much more.
