Can you remember the first time you really felt a deep sense of sadness? Looking back on your younger self, what would you say to them now? 
Sadness isn’t an emotion we always care to admit out loud or bring people into. But the truth is the Bible is full of characters dealing with dark and heavy circumstances; we see all kinds of people – including Jesus – feeling AND expressing their fear, loneliness, and anxiety, while they faithfully pursued God’s heart. 
In this vulnerable conversation, Candace and Jennie share their earliest memories related to sadness, how depression has impacted their lives, and the pressures we all face to smile through the low times - and just be happy. 
If you are struggling with depression, or you know someone who is, listen in with grace + compassion. You are not alone, this is for you.

There is a connection between your emotional health and your body. Just think about what you feel physically when you experience different emotions: 
When you feel joy, where in your body do you feel it? 
When you feel sadness, how do you express it physically? 
When you feel fear or worry, how does your body respond? 
Our bodies feel our emotions, they are connected. And often the feelings we are struggling with are exacerbated by how we are treating (or mistreating) our bodies. 
In this episode, Candace and Jennie are talking about emotions + our body. They discuss how they have seen their physical health positivity impact their emotional health, and vice versa. They also share healthy physical habits that have helped them when they are feeling certain emotions (like sad or stressed).

Candace + Jennie answer 3 questions from listeners that ask about balance, routines, and habits. From managing time and energy to taking care of yourself without letting it become an idol. Tune in to hear more!

Begin with the Body

What is your favorite memory from your childhood? What makes those memories good memories? 
In this episode, Candace and Jennie are focusing on emotions and parenting. The truth is that we all need to know that we are seen, soothed, and safe in our emotions – especially kids. We aren’t alone in our emotions, and neither are our children. We get to be there for them emotionally, so does Jesus. Feelings don’t heal when we ignore them; they heal when we are wrapped up by the people we love in the middle of them. 
Listen in as Candace and Jennie talk about their personal experiences parenting young children + adult children, being fully present to the emotions of your children (no matter their age), and what they have learned from struggling to “fix” things for their kids. 
Parenting isn’t a one-size fits all – and emotions aren’t the same for every child. How do we foster emotional health in our children? Tune in to hear more!

Connection is the Goal

Two words can push emotions to a deeper place … “I feel.” Do you have community that you can safely share your emotions with? That you can vulnerably say … “I feel” without fear or shame? 
Emotions are best healed in community – to be truly seen, soothed, safe, and not alone in pain heals you in ways you cannot believe unless you feel it. Candace and Jennie sit down to talk about friendship + how God calls us to “bear one another’s burdens.” If you are looking for encouragement around: 
What makes friendships stick long-term
How to show up well for friends when they need you most 
Ways you can “go there” emotionally with community 
Healing friendships that have caused emotional wounds  
Then tune in! Better yet, send this episode to someone in your community to listen together and talk about. We hope this episode inspires vulnerable conversations within your friendship!

Listen in as they reflect on their own marriages, talk about practical things they do to stay connected to their husbands emotionally, how they resolve conflict, and the deep value intentional counseling has had on them.
