In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re talking all about counseling!

Who is counseling for? How do you know if counseling is the next best step for you? Is fear getting in your way?

Hear from Susan, a licensed professional counselor, and Rashel, someone who’s experienced counseling firsthand, as they answer some questions you may be having and dive into how we can know when counseling might be the next step we need to take.

When was the last time you paused to check in with how you’re really doing?

In this episode, Susan and Rashel explore the importance of emotional awareness and how it shapes both personal well-being and the health of our relationships.

Join the conversation as they share insights, relatable experiences, and tangible ways to take steps towards emotional maturity.

Part 4 (the finale) is here! This week on Tangible Truth Podcast with Susan & Friends, we’re wrapping up our April series: “Our Relationship with Our Bodies.”

Through this series, Susan & Rashel have opened up about walking with the Lord through seasons of struggle, the lies the enemy tries to plant about our bodies, and the practical ways we can fight back with truth.

And now—we’re closing it out by answering these questions:

• What does a right and healthy relationship with our bodies look like?
• What does God think about our bodies?
• What is His design and purpose for our bodies?

If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions, we hope this episode is an encouragement to you and helps lead you into reflection, truth, and healing. 

This week on the Tangible Truth Podcast with Susan & Friends, we’re back with Part 3 of our series, “Our Relationship with Our Bodies.”

Susan is joined again by Rashel Townsend as they continue the conversation—this time exposing the enemy’s lies and the subtle and obvious ways they take root and reshape how we see our bodies. Together, they unpack these distortions and share practical, tangible steps to help you recognize and confront the lies you may be believing.

Our hope is that these practices meet you right where you are—helping you better understand your story and guiding you toward reflection, truth, and healing.

This week we continue the conversation with guest and friend, Rashel Townsend, as we dive deeper into our relationship with our bodies—a topic we don’t often slow down to talk about, but one that impacts all of us. 

In this episode, Susan shares her powerful story of navigating bullying and chronic pain, offering an honest look at the struggles that can shape how we see ourselves.

Yet even in the midst of hardship, there is hope. Join us as we explore how we can ground ourselves in our unchanging identity in Christ, learning to move through pain, insecurity, and past wounds with faith and renewed perspective.

Our hope is that this real conversation between friends would help you better understand your own story and lead you into reflection, truth, and healing. 

Did you know that 3 of the top 5 New Year's Resolutions all have to do with our bodies? They are: exercise more, eat healthier, and lose weight.

But...are we striving for these things for the right reasons?

All this month, Susan and the new Tangible Truth Executive Assistant, Rashel Townsend, are sharing their stories of walking with God and of a sometimes toxic relationship with their bodies.
