Elena Huggins, author of Untwist Me: Uncomplicated Life Hacks for Mental and Emotional Liberation shares her personal journey of faith, trauma, and healing, emphasizing the importance of understanding the difference between being healed and being free.
Our conversation delves into the complexities of trauma, the significance of processing emotions, and the role of Scripture in finding peace and clarity.
Elena offers practical advice to help you navigate your own mental health challenges and encourages you to simplify your struggles to find effective solutions.

- Simplifying life's challenges can empower you to take action.
- Elena's book offers practical steps for emotional liberation.
- The supernatural power of God plays a crucial role in healing.
