Girl, Just Feel Podcast with Dr. Ajene Gailliard

It's Season 2!!! We're so happy to be back with you for another season of the podcast. 

On this episode, Ajene and Michelle wrap up our series on finding freedom from your pain, and we conclude our first season of the podcast! Thanks for joining us on this journey.

Our conversation continues with Part 2 of the Finding Freedom From Pain Series. It can be difficult to shift our focus away from seeing our limits as controlling what we can and cannot do. In those times, we are invited to return to the truths about God that we know from His Word.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9
Psalm 84:11

Have you struggled to finding meaning, let alone, freedom from pain? How do you assess the pain points in your life? On this episode, Ajene and Michelle begin a 3 part series on finding freedom in your pain. Sometimes what feels like limitations can eventually lead to liberation.

Do you ever feel like there is way too much to do and you have reached your capacity to handle it all? On this episode, Ajene opens up about feeling overwhelmed by all the many things she believes God has called her to fulfil. Engaging in conversation helps her realize that she doesn't have to be overcome by the overwhelm, but she can be an overcomer.

1 Corinthians 10:13 
John 10:27

After sharing about how recent experience on her getaway, Ajene talks about how she recognized that the messages she received from the negative experiences in her past were the source of her discomfort. Healing comes from reframing those messages to line up with the truths from God's Word. 

Scripture Referenced
Romans 8:28 
Philippians 4:6-8

After a brief recap from our last episode, Ajene resumes our discussion about the intergenerational transmission of trauma. It is our hope and belief that just as trauma can be imparted from one generation to the next, healing can be transmitted too. 

Ajene continues our freedom series conversation. She uses personal stories to explain why she had difficulty resting and relaxing. Now, Ajene realizes that she can believe a new message and make new meaning out of some of her old memories. Our desire is that this conversation will help us all to look forward in hope and not be stuck looking back in despair anymore. (You can take off or edit that last sentence if you want to. :) )
