Join us for a hope-filled conversation with Alicia Michelle about managing emotions in grief with science and Scripture. Alicia, who previously shared her story of losing her son in an early miscarriage in Episode 12 of the Cradled in Hope Podcast, has recently written a book titled Emotional Confidence. Using three simple steps from her book, Alicia shares how we can face difficult emotions and choose to live differently in light of them. As we focus on God's character while at the same time caring for our brains & bodies, healing can happen. Alicia shares practical wisdom for grieving moms to navigate their grief journey, blending faith with their emotional well-being.
In this episode, we discussed:
- A framework for managing emotions
- What are the 3 steps (Acknowledge, Discern, Decide)?
- Choosing where we emotionally dwell
- What happens if we get stuck?
- How to move past culture's expectations of us
- The emotional iceberg
- It's okay to hate death
- Disconnect between our heart and head
- Cracks in the foundation of our faith
- The mystery of God
- What is "emotional prep"?
- Being good stewards of our bodies
