Author: Jenilee Samuel | Christian Women, Prophetic Prayer, Healing, Bible Study, Pray April 1, 2025 Duration: 59:39

🙋‍♀️ Have you ever felt like your emotions were too much—or worse, that feeling them meant you lacked faith? Many Christians think scripture teaches us to suppress emotions, but upon closer look, we see scripture encourages us to process them in a healthy, biblical way.

What if your emotions aren’t the enemy? What if God designed them to be a powerful tool for healing and growth?

In this episode, I sit down with Alicia Michelle, a Christian life coach and neuroscience expert, to talk about how to break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and shame cycles—using both science and Scripture.

🎧 Listen now to discover:
✔️ Why so many Christians struggle with emotions (and what the Bible actually says)
✔️ The shocking near-death experience that changed Alicia Michelle’s view on emotional health
✔️ The science-backed, biblical approach to breaking free from perfectionism & people-pleasing
✔️ How to manage emotions with the Holy Spirit (without suppressing them)
✔️ A simple 3-step method to process emotions in a healthy, faith-filled way

🔥 If you’ve ever been told to "just pray more" or "push through," but still feel stuck in emotional struggles—this episode is for you.

💡 About Our Guest: Alicia Michelle is an ICF-certified Christian life coach, NeuroCoach, award-winning podcaster, and founder of Vibrant Christian Living. She helps women break shame cycles and build Christ-centered confidence using brain-based tools and biblical truth.
