This episode is really special to me. I invited my therapist, Zoi from Agape Christian Counseling, to join me on the podcast because I’ve experienced firsthand just how life-giving therapy can be—and I want you to hear from the woman who’s helped me through so much.
Whether you’ve been in therapy before or you’re just starting to get curious, this conversation is full of encouragement, practical wisdom, and powerful reminders that you’re not meant to do it all on your own. Zoi and I talk about so much—overcoming the stigma around therapy, finding the right therapist, and navigating real-life stuff like marriage challenges, dating, mom guilt, emotional health, and what it looks like to heal from the inside out.
She shares her heart and her expertise, from how attachment styles play out in our relationships to what EMDR therapy is and why it can be such a helpful tool for processing trauma. Zoi also opens up about her own journey and how she views therapy as a sacred space for growth, healing, and hope.
If you’ve ever felt like therapy might be for “other people,” I hope this episode gently changes that. There’s so much goodness here.
In this episode, we talk about:
- 💬 Why therapy is not just for crisis moments
- 🧠 EMDR, attachment styles & healing childhood wounds
- 💞 Tools for marriage, dating, and finding lasting connection
- 👩👧 Navigating mom guilt and parenting pressures
- 🧭 How to find the right therapist for you
- 💡 Practical tips for forgiveness, self-care, and healthy boundaries
If your heart has been heavy or you’ve been craving more peace in your day-to-day life, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are.
