Instead of shying away, shouldn't the church be at the forefront of the conversation on mental health? When we embrace a correct perspective on mental health and wellness, we become free to get the help that we need. This episode covers the stigma around mental health and mental illness in the Body of Christ.

Proverbs 11:14
Ephesians 4:26
There are many experiences that can lead to someone finding themselves in need of emotional healing. What does it look like to become aware of our emotions as a Believer? Is it possible to come into the faith and yet remain disconnected from our souls and our mental wellness? Ajene talks about what she learned as her faith grew, her childhood experiences and family of origin story unfolded, and her battle with chronic illness revealed her need to embrace emotional healing.
It can be challenging for some Christians to express emotions, face pain and trauma, or fully understand how to manage emotional health well. But emotions are everywhere and affect every aspect of our lives. Despite more recognition of mental health in recent years, many have ignored or misunderstood the role emotions play in the life of the Believer. Learn how Ajene faced feelings of anxiety but chose to embrace freedom from fear to launch this podcast and put her voice “out there.” Hopefully you can be inspired by her story as you join her as she endeavors to educated, encourage, and empower women, to embrace emotional healing and eradicate the stigma of mental health in the Body of Christ.

What if the very thing you’ve been trying to suppress is actually where your healing begins? You’ve learned how to be strong. You carry it all, show up, and keep going, no matter what’s happening…
But what if your emotions aren’t the problem?
What if they’ve never been?
On the Girl, Just Feel Podcast, I’m inviting you into a different way of healing. One that doesn’t require you to silence your or control your emotions to prove your faith.
I’m Dr. Ajene Gailliard, a licensed mental health professional, minister, sacred social scientist, and your big sister. Each episode, I walk with you through the truth about emotions, faith, and healing, while bringing together biblical wisdom and psychological insight in a way that finally makes sense.
Here, you’ll begin to understand that healing isn’t about getting rid of pain. It’s about learning how to navigate and integrate all your feelings, without fear. We’re going to challenge the belief that you have to control your emotions and confront the lie that emotional pain means spiritual failure. I want to help you experience what it actually looks like for your faith and your emotional life to work together and no longer be at war.
If you’ve mastered showing up for everyone else, but still feel disconnected from yourself, you’re in the right place.
