I’m not Okay: Denial, Depression, and the Road to Healing

Lives of Courage with Jessica Stong

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Jess peels back the layers of an imposter self, wrestling with anxiety and depression, revealing a story that resonates with our shared human experience.

Through the wisdom of Brennan Manning, Jessica explores the "unaffected heart" - a state of dispassion that can creep into our lives, resulting in underused talents, buried hopes, and an inability to connect deeply with the world around us. It's a journey of recognizing and accepting brokenness, of learning to navigate the raw realness of life.

This episode is an invitation to dive beneath the surface, challenging the societal norms of repression and spiritualizing our circumstances. It's about breaking free from the shackles of self-isolation and stepping into the light of emotional authenticity.

We hope this will resonate with anyone who's felt alone in their struggle, reminding us that it's okay to not be okay. Together, we'll explore how to transform our pain into a path for self-discovery and healing. Tune in, share in our journey, and find solace in the strength of shared experiences.
