Welcome back to the pod everyone!!

This week is all about Anxiety.

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it’s overthinking, pressure, and never feeling “off.”

In this episode, we talk about how anxiety shows up in our daily lives, what it actually feels like, and how we navigate it through faith, surrender, and practical habits.

If your mind won’t shut off and you feel like you have to figure everything out right now - this is for you.

You don’t have to carry it all.

Hey hey HWH gang! Happy Friday!!

This episode is very much a real life, real time update.

We’re getting into what God is teaching us right now and yeah… some of these lessons are not easy. From trying to start before feeling ready, to learning patience, to letting go of control (still working on that), we’re sharing what we’re currently navigating in our faith and everyday life.

We also talk about people pleasing, trusting God when things feel uncertain, and what it actually looks like to show up for Him… and for yourself.

Basically, we don’t have it all figured out, but we’re learning as we go (as usual)!

“don’t worry about tomorrow…” yeah… we’re working on that too 🤍

HEY HEY HWH GANG!!! We're back!

In this episode of Held While Healing, we unpack a difference in perspective that turned into a deeper conversation...what does it really mean to live like Jesus?

We talk truth vs. love, when to speak up vs. stay silent, forgiveness, boundaries, and breaking out of people-pleasing.

Following Jesus isn’t one-size-fits-all - it’s learning to love deeply, speak truth with grace, and walk in wisdom, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Welcome back HWH gang!!

Your 20s can feel like a constant in-between - not who you used to be, but not fully who you’re becoming either. You’re making big decisions, navigating relationships, chasing goals, and quietly wondering if you’re doing any of it right.

In this episode, we talk about what faith really looks like in this season. The doubt that creeps in when prayers feel unanswered. The pressure of trying to figure out your career and future. The comparison that comes from watching others hit milestones before you. And the tension between wanting clarity now and learning to trust God in the unknown.

We also get into identity - how easy it is to tie your worth to your achievements, relationships, or timeline, and how faith gently pulls you back to something deeper. A reminder that who you are isn’t defined by where you’re at.

Faith in your 20s isn’t about having everything figured out...it’s about learning to stay close to God while you’re still figuring it out.

Welcome back everyone!

In this episode, we’re talking about something we’ve all felt at some point - comparison. From scrolling on social media to questioning your timeline, your faith, or even your blessings, it’s so easy to feel like you’re falling behind.

We open up about the quiet pressure of seeing everyone else’s highlight reels, what comparison can do to your peace, and how it can even show up in your relationship with God. This is an honest, light conversation about learning to stay grounded in your own path, your own timing, and your own growth.

If you’ve ever thought “why not me yet?” - this one’s for you 🤍

Today, Steph shares a very vulnerable and sacred story of her miscarriage. She shares a little bit about what that meant to her and how it changed her.

A note from Steph:

My miscarriage was one of the most painful seasons of my life. It challenged my faith at times and left me with questions I didn’t know how to ask or even have the answers to. But in the middle of my grief, I met God in a way I never had before. When I felt empty, He held me. When I didn’t have the strength, He gave it to me. When I felt like my prayers weren’t being answered the way I hoped, He reminded me that He was still there.

I didn’t receive the miracle baby I was praying for, but I received something I didn’t even know I was missing and that was deeper relationship with Jesus. He has been the miracle in my life through all my highs and lows now.

This loss changed me in ways I’ll never get back and I’ll also always be grateful for. It softened my heart and strengthened my faith. I truly believe that my story is not finished there too. I trust that He is still writing something beautiful even though I can’t see the full picture yet.

If sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her grief, it is worth it. If it gently brings someone closer to God, it is worth it. There’s purpose in my pain.

And if you are walking through miscarriage right now, please know you are not alone. Your pain matters. Your questions are allowed. Reach out for support. Lean on your loved ones. Advocate for your health. Seek answers. Pray if you can, even if it’s just a whisper. Don’t lose hope 🤍

God is near to the brokenhearted and you will be okay 🤍

Welcome to Held While Healing with Gaby and Steph!

In this very first episode, we’re sharing who we are, why we started this podcast and the heart behind the name.

We’ve both walked through seasons that stretched our faith, tested our strength and left us asking hard questions. But in the middle of it all, we weren’t abandoned; we were held. Held by God. Held by community. Held by grace.

This podcast was born from the realization that healing isn’t instant, and it isn’t always pretty. It’s layered. It’s ongoing. And sometimes, we’re still in process. But even when we’re not fully healed, we are still deeply held.

In this episode, we talk about our faith journeys, the challenges that shaped us and why we believe there is power in sharing your testimony while you’re still walking through it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in-between, not where you were, but not fully where you’re going, we hope this space is for you.

You are not behind. You are not broken beyond repair. You are healing… and you are held.
