Guest: Bonnie Gray – Author of Breath, mental health advocate, and someone who knows what it’s like to struggle.

Let’s be real—mental health in Christian spaces can be tricky. The pressure to “have enough faith” or “just give it to God” can sometimes leave us feeling more stuck than supported. Bonnie Gray gets it. She’s been through anxiety, depression, and all the guilt that comes with it, and in this episode, she’s keeping it real about:

✔️ How she moved from survival mode to actually feeling at peace
 ✔️ Breaking free from shame in Christian spaces when it comes to mental health
 ✔️ The simple breathing practices that helped her calm her mind (and why they work)
 ✔️ The power of letting go—aka holy exhaling—when your thoughts won’t stop spiraling
✔️ Why faith & therapy go hand in hand (and how she made peace with both)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in your own thoughts, this episode is for you.
