Anxiety, depression, and even plain heaviness can hit anyone – even at those times when everyone else seems so happy. Know that you aren't alone, and that you can fight back. Today's episode of the Talk It Out podcast is exactly what you need for the fight. We focus on some special moments from previous episodes where our friends shared really practical advice on battling depression and healing from past hurts. Get some encouragement from Joyce and special guests Michelle Williams, Lisa Harper and Dr. Henry Cloud and discover how to find indescribable hope in Christ.

Who are you fighting to forgive? Whether it's an ex, someone you used to call friend, a parent, or even a person you're doing life with, forgiveness is a hard thing—but thank God He's willing to help us through the process! Listen as Joyce joins the girls and they unpack the steps you can take every day to let go of offenses, respond with grace to frustrating situations, and even forgive the people who've caused some of your deepest wounds. As you work with Him through the process, He'll meet you right where you are and heal you in every place where you've been broken.

How often do you feel like you have to hide how you actually feel, or who you truly are? If your answer is "too much", then today is the day to start flipping that script!
