Grief is a natural and necessary part of loss, but what happens when it lingers beyond its season? In this episode of Healthy & Redeemed, we explore prolonged or complicated grief—what it is, why it happens, and how to move forward in a healthy way.

We’ll discuss:

• Signs of prolonged grief - when grief has become “stuck” and is interfering with daily life.
• Factors that can make prolonged grief more likely.
• Criteria for the diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder
• Practical, biblical steps to help navigate grief and find healing.

Grieving doesn’t mean forgetting, and healing doesn’t mean you stop missing your loved one. God is present in your pain, offering comfort and hope. If you or someone you know is struggling with grief that feels overwhelming, this episode and the first one provide both information and actionable steps toward peace.  Please join me!!

Guilt can be a powerful emotion, but not all guilt is from God. Some guilt is meant to lead us to repentance, while other guilt keeps us stuck in shame and condemnation. In this episode of Healthy & Redeemed, we’ll explore the difference between true guilt and false guilt, how to recognize each, and how to handle guilt in a healthy way.   We will also dive into 'mom guilt'—the nagging feeling that they’re not doing enough or falling short of perfection.

Are you looking to worldly things to fill your holes?  

In this episode, we explore the powerful truth that only God can fill the holes in our hearts and lives as we explore my "H.T. Hole Theory". Drawing from scripture and personal experience, I share how worldly pursuits often leave us empty and how God's promises offer true restoration and fulfillment.  

We open the episode talking a little more about the best place to get your healthy replacement thoughts. :)

In this episode of Healthy and Redeemed, we dive into the Cognitive Behavioral Triangle, a powerful tool that reveals the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Learn how understanding this triangle can help you identify unhealthy patterns and make meaningful changes.

We’ll also explore the impact of automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) and the importance of recognizing the need to replace them and a little about the neural pathways in our brain in relation to negative thoughts.
