As a pastor, life coach, author and CEO, Karrie Garcia inspires change in others by boldly sharing her journey to freedom. Karrie has navigated dark places—including drug addiction, the suicide of her mother, and the breakdown of her first marriage—and emerged victorious through the freedom she found in the grace, mercy, and healing that can only come from Jesus Christ. At the point Karrie felt most disqualified from ministry and life itself, Scripture finally came alive for her to reveal God’s purpose and plan. This is the truth that continues to transform her life, and now Karrie is on a mission to redefine freedom for others. It was from this conviction that Freedom Movement was born. Karrie started the nonprofit in 2014 with the understanding that every single one of us is broken and has wounds, many of which are not often addressed within traditional church environments. She saw firsthand that God’s true redemptive purpose for our lives does not begin once we’re free from pain, rather it stems directly out of that pain. A licensed life coach through the International Coach Federation (ICF), Karrie is a natural at creating space for others and has been been involved in coaching and counseling, whether professionally or informally, for nearly 25 years. Through Freedom Movement and its programming, Karrie has fostered an environment where anyone can begin to process and heal, whether they’re taking their first or their last step on the road to freedom. Today, the organization has partnered with major churches in addition to Christian universities and conferences to offer this same healing space on a larger scale.This podcast episode is brought to you by UHSM Health Share, a unique health care membership on a mission to create holistic wellness for the mind, body and spirit.

In 2016, she was working as a hairstylist while her husband was in rehab for a substance addiction when she started a blog to see if there was anyone else out there like her. Four years later, her website now has over 130K readers, she’s won two prestigious national writing awards, and her blog was nominated for the David Mainse Best Blog of the Year Award. Leah teaches courses on how to set boundaries that align with the Word of God, facilitates an online support community, and recently completed her manuscript, No One Brings You a Casserole When Your Husband Goes to Rehab. Get started with online therapy & counseling:Better Help Counseling (10% off your first month): https://betterhelp.com/mosesFaithful (Christian) Counseling (10% off your first month): https://faithfulcounseling.com/brittneyFor a list of specific mental help & crises resources: https://brittneyamoses.com/mental-help-resources/Connect with Leah Grey here!Website: https://leahgrey.com Free Resource Library: https://leahgrey.com/resource-library Online Community: https://leahgrey.com/habit Facebook: @helloleahgrey Instagram: @helloleahgreyConnect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

Today we’re talking about where faith meets suffering and unexpected loss with Jennie Lusko. Something that often seems juxtaposed to one another, but is right where God want to meet us even when we can’t see the other side.We often think that if we have faith and do all the right things then bad things shouldn’t happen to us, but that’s not the reality of our human experience and we understand that no one is immune from the deepest of trials.Jennie shares more on this and her story here, which is both daunting and insightful. She touches on the topic of suffering and what scripture says about unsurmountable grief & loss and holding onto faith through it all.Jennie Lusko serves alongside her husband, Levi, leading Fresh Life Church in Montana, Utah, Oregon, and Wyoming, as well as across the world online. They have five children: Alivia, Daisy, Clover, Lennox, and Lenya, who is waiting for them in heaven. The Lusko family lives in Montana and enjoys bike rides, walks, lake days, late-night hot tub and cold plunge parties, movies, and family breakfast. Jennie loves spin and boxing, good food and sugary coffee, and wearing the same thing every day but also getting fashion advice from Levi. Jennie is also a hugger, so beware if you meet her.Get started with online therapy & counseling:Better Help Counseling (10% off your first month): https://betterhelp.com/mosesFaithful (Christian) Counseling (10% off your first month): https://faithfulcounseling.com/brittneyFor a list of specific mental help & crises resources: https://brittneyamoses.com/mental-help-resources/Connect with Jennie Lusko here!Instagram: @jennieluskoTwitter: @jennieluskoFacebook: @jennieluskojennielusko.comConnect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

Lately I’ve been taking some steps back, reorienting myself to adjust to new changes, finding solitude and grounding within my own internal life, putting necessary online boundaries in place, looking at credible research and thinking critically about how to approach the many conversations taking place right now.It’s overwhelming. There’s both a health crisis and a mental health crisis taking place. The anxiety of an unknown future rises. It holds hands with the depression of isolation. Our survival instincts have been heightened and we’re grieving a lost sense of normalcy.It’s reasonable if you’re having a hard time mentally finding your grounding right now. We’ve been put in a position our generation has never been in before where we have to find adaptable ways to cope on a mass scale.So what are some of the top tips mental health professionals are recommending during this time?

Today's episode covers some of the basic yet complex dynamics of what makes up the various factors of mental health and the signs of a more severe mental condition. In this conversation with psychiatrist Dr. David Puder we dive into a medical perspective, touching on topics such as severe depression, bipolar, medication, the power of empathy when supporting mental health in the church. Big takeaway: No one is beyond help or recovery when willing to do the healing work!Dr. Puder went to U.C. Berkeley and majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology while competing on the Cal Rowing Team.  After, he went to Loma Linda School of Medicine and subsequently spent a year doing internal medicine, then completed his psychiatry residency at Loma Linda.

Dr. Puder is married with two children and spends most of his free time playing with them or cooking for them.  Get started with online therapy & counseling:Better Help Counseling (10% off your first month): https://betterhelp.com/mosesFaithful (Christian) Counseling (10% off your first month): https://faithfulcounseling.com/brittneyFor a list of specific mental help & crises resources: https://brittneyamoses.com/mental-help-resources/If these episodes have blessed you in anyway, click here to support the continued efforts of the Faith & Mental Wellness show: https://supporter.acast.com/The-Faith-and-Mental-Wellness-Podcast-with-Brittney-MosesConnect with Dr. Puder here!Instagram: @Dr.DavidPuderFacebook: @DrDavidPuderTwitter: @DavidPuderPsychiatry & Psychotherapy Podcast:https://psychiatrypodcast.com/Dr. David Puder's Podcast episode on Microexpressions to Make Microconnections: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/microexpressions-to-make-microconnections-part-1/id1335892956?i=1000410927387Connect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastYoutube: BrittneyMosesFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

On Today’s episode I got to sit and have a conversation with my amazing friend TKea Blackman. T-Kea is a suicide survivor with a powerful testimony of recovery and redemption alongside faith and has been using her voice to advocate for mental health. She’s also the creator and host of the fireflies podcast, which is dedicated to bringing light into the darkness, much like fireflies. As you’ll soon hear, her story is truly a testament to living beyond a diagnosis, the possibilities of recovery and the ability to thrive despite a long standing battle with mental illness.Whether you’re someone faced with a diagnosis or you’re wanting to better understand those around you who may be facing a mental crisis, you’ll want to listen to this whole conversation. Now I do want to give a disclaimer and warning that there is content surrounding suicidality that may be sensitive to some, so please listen at your discretion. However I believe this will be a resource that is far more powerful. Right now we just entered the month of September, which is actually World Suicide Prevention Month, and while I totally didn’t plan for this, I couldn’t think of a better time to share this conversation with you all.Connect with T-Kea on:InstagramTwitterFirefliesUnite.comCheck out her book Saved & Depressed: A Suicide Survivor’s Journey of Mental Health, Healing & Faith at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Saved-Depressed-Suicide-Survivors-Journey/dp/109643377XTo find nearby treatment services, call 1-800-662-HELP .The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-TALKYou can text NAMI to 741-741 for NAMI’s text crisis line.Self-Harm Hotline: 1-800-DONT CUT (1-800-366-8288)Mental Health First Aid Training: https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/NAMI Support Groups: https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI-Programs"What to Do if You or Someone You Know is Having Suicidal Thoughts: http://brittneyamoses.com/someone-know-suicidal-thoughts/List of Mental Help Resources from my Blog: http://brittneyamoses.com/mental-help-resources/Connect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastYoutube: BrittneyMosesFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

One of the many big questions I get in regards to mental health is, "How much of this is a spiritual issue and how much of it is physical or biological?" Well, today I'm excited to address some of these questions and more with my guest Dr. Matthew Stanford. We had an insightful discussion on a clinical and biblical approach to mental health.We got to expound on important and highly requested topics such as medication, dynamics of spiritual warfare, living with a diagnoses and how that all interplays with a biblical perspective.Dr. Stanford is CEO of the Hope and Healing Center & Institute in Houston, TX and adjunct professor of psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine and the Houston Methodist Hospital Institute for Academic Medicine. A fellow of the Association for Psychological Science he is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. And his research on the interplay between psychology and issues of faith has been featured in such national publications as The New York Times, USA Today, and Christianity Today, as well as many news websites including Fox, MSNBC, Yahoo, and US News & World Report.You’ll want to catch all of this episode, so let’s dive in. You can connect with Dr. Stanford further online at www.mentalhealthgateway.org.  Book recommendations: Grace for the Children: Finding Hope in the Midst of Child and Adolescent Mental Illness, Grace for the Afflicted: A Clinical and Biblical Perspective on Mental Illness, Revised and Expanded (InterVarsity Press, 2017) and The Biology of Sin: Grace Hope and Healing for Those Who Feel Trapped (InterVarsity Press, 2011).Get started with online therapy & counseling:Better Help Counseling (10% off your first month): https://betterhelp.com/mosesFaithful (Christian) Counseling (10% off your first month): https://faithfulcounseling.com/brittneyFor a list of specific mental help & crises resources: https://brittneyamoses.com/mental-help-resources/If these episodes have blessed you in anyway, click here to support the continued efforts of the Faith & Mental Wellness show: https://supporter.acast.com/The-Faith-and-Mental-Wellness-Podcast-with-Brittney-MosesConnect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastYoutube: BrittneyMosesFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

Losing a loved one or being close to someone who has lost a loved one, is a devastating experience, to say the least. And yet, experiencing death is an inevitable encounter we all have either gone through or will go through at some point in this life- so it's important to build a mentally healthy culture around how we cope through such losses. On Today's episode, I got to sit and chat with my friend Dr. Therese about wrestling through the deeply complicated emotions of grief and loss, how to cope, how to begin moving forward and how to support someone who is in the depths of grieving.Dr. Therese hails from Southern California, like myself, and is a Filipina- American Licensed Clinical Psychologist, self care and personal development guru. Berkely educated, this woman is a mover and a shaker with a drive for building community and entrepreneurship.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook at all lately, you’ve noticed that I’ve started talking more about the connection between nutrition and mental health. When you think about the gut-brain connection even on a common sense level, it makes sense that…What you eat fuels your body.Your brain is an organ in sync with your body.Therefore, what you eat fuels your brain.Most recently in my studies I've wanted to better understand the chemical level of how what we eat translates in the brain and if there were tested and proven results that showed a difference in mental and emotional well-being based on the food choices people made. Since the brain is an organ that also undergoes a biochemical process, it brings into question how the quality of the food we put into our bodies could affect our brains and mental well-being. So for todays episode I had the honor of chatting with Dr. Janelle Sinclair about a holistic approach to nutrition, mental health and the gut brain connection- something you guys have expressed wanting to hear more about as well. Dr Janelle Sinclair is a biochemist and registered natural medicine practitioner who specializes in the area of mental health. She is a wife, a mother of two, a Christ-follower, a crossfitter, a speaker and an author. Dr Janelle has worked in the natural medicine field for over 14 years, has a PhD in biochemistry from Basel, Switzerland, and has a Postgraduate certificate in mental health. She is a lover of learning and has completed numerous natural medicine and neurolinguistic programming courses, and is FitGenes certified.Recommended Resources & Videos:Anxiety and blood sugar: https://youtu.be/G6urdV26TWASIBO and FODMAP diet: https://youtu.be/COjHmgInIZ0Omega 3 for depression: https://youtu.be/5qbtUL0W0_AVitamin D: https://youtu.be/rJ76CwFzU34Vitamin D report: https://www.drjanellesinclair.com/vitamin-dFREE CHECKLIST RESOURCE: www.drjanellesinclair.com/checklistConnect with Dr. Janelle on:Her website: www.drjanellesinclair.comYoutube: www.youtube.com/drjanellesinclairInstagram: www.instagram.com/drjanellesinclairFacebook: www.facebook.com/drjanellesinclair Recommended Blogs:5 Reasons What You Eat Can Help Improve Your Mental Health This YearConnect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastYoutube: BrittneyMosesFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

We're kicking off 2019 on the podcast with new guest conversations. Today, I invited two of my friends Kristina and Rachael to have an open discussion about the fears and pressures of social anxiety and how it can limit us not only in our calling but in everyday situations. We've all struggled with some level of anxiety when it comes to the vulnerability of showing up for our lives in some way. However for some it can be an incredibly disabling experience. If this resonates with everything you've been feeling, this episode is for you.Books mentioned:The Burden Is Light: Liberating Your Life from the Tyranny of Performance and SuccessDaring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brené BrownGet started with online therapy & counseling:Better Help Counseling (10% off your first month): https://betterhelp.com/mosesFaithful (Christian) Counseling (10% off your first month): https://faithfulcounseling.com/brittneyFor a list of specific mental help & crises resources: https://brittneyamoses.com/mental-help-resources/If these episodes have blessed you in anyway, click here to support the continued efforts of the Faith & Mental Wellness show: https://supporter.acast.com/The-Faith-and-Mental-Wellness-Podcast-with-Brittney-MosesYou can find Kristina as The DTR Blog on:Instagram: @thedtrblogFacebook: The DTR BlogTwitter: @thedtrblogHer Blog: TheDTRBlog.comAnd you can find Rachel and her mission at Beloved Beauty LA on:Instagram: @belovedbeautyla & @rachaelrolandWebsite is coming soon!Connect with Brittney on social media for more:Instagram: @BrittneyMosesInstagram: @ChristianMentalHealthInstagram: @faithmentalwellnesspodcastYoutube: BrittneyMosesFacebook: @BrittneyAMosesTwitter: @Brittney_MosesBrittneyAMoses.comCrisis lines by country:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-faith-mental-wellness-podcast-with-brittney-moses.

On today's podcast, we're talking about codependency and encouraging real change in a toxic relationship (not just romantic ones). Many times we believe that if we just do enough things and control enough settings around a person- we can make them change, but this is not how change usually works. This codependency keeps both parties trapped- usually getting nowhere. Some will only learn by experiencing the consequences of their actions (ourselves included) and ignoring or saving them from that every time only enables the cycle of toxic and destructive behaviors. This doesn’t mean we hold others or ourselves to standards of perfection or overnight change but proactivity and progress in the right direction. Tune into the recording for more... Let’s connect!
