194: Handling Emotional Overwhelm, Overthinking, and Avoidance in Your Job Search

Listen Later

In this episode, I am joined by Alicia Michelle, Christian mindset coach and author of Emotional Confidence. Alicia shares her journey of overcoming emotional overwhelm and perfectionism as she introduces her practical ADD (Acknowledge, Discern, Decide) framework for managing emotions with the combined facts of science and wisdom of scripture.


We dive into topics like:

  • Conquering overthinking, avoidance, and emotional overwhelm
  • How emotions and faith intersect in career transitions
  • Moving from fight or flight to logical thinking in a moment to process and make better decisions
  • Breaking free from harmful thought patterns to be at rest


    • Alicia also provides actionable steps to help you handle fear and trust God through life’s uncertainties. Whether you're navigating a job search or seeking emotional freedom, this conversation is packed with hope, insight, and practical tools to transform your mindset.
