ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if getting help isn’t a sign that your faith is weak but a sign that you’re willing to care for yourself? There are seasons when praying, pushing through, and telling yourself “I’m fine” just isn’t enough. And asking for help doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It may be exactly what you need to move forward.
In this deeply personal episode, Antoinette Ferry, a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner certified in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, joins the conversation to unpack what it really means to care for your mental and emotional health.
Together, they talk about anxiety, depression, therapy, medication, hormones, perimenopause, sleep, and the everyday signs that something may not be okay even when you keep telling everyone that you are.
You’ll also hear why faith and professional help can work together, how to recognize when it’s time to reach out, and why seeking support can be an act of stewardship rather than a failure of faith.
If you’ve been saying “I’m okay” when you know you’re not, this conversation may be the reminder you need:
You don’t have to carry everything alone. And asking for help doesn’t make you weak!
