Emotions aren't the enemy: How to feel to truly heal & walk in faithfulness

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of The You Matter Podcast, I’m Amanda Beilke, your relationship coach and founder of the Love Map Institute. Today, we dive deep into the often unspoken journey of feeling our emotions with God, instead of suppressing them. Drawing from my personal experiences, I share the transformative power of journaling and emotional honesty, especially during challenging seasons like postpartum depression.

Join me as we explore the significance of recognizing and processing our emotions, using Jesus as our ultimate model. Discover how to embrace feelings of grief, joy, anger, and compassion, and learn practical steps to connect with God through your emotional experiences. This episode is not just about understanding emotions; it’s about inviting the Holy Spirit into our feelings, allowing them to guide us towards healing and deeper connections. I understand that processing emotions can be challenging, so I’ve put together a 15-page FREE PDF guide, ‘Feel to Heal,’ to give you practical tools and support.
