The Christian Mindset Coach with Alicia Michelle: Managing Emotions and Overwhelm Using Brain Science and Biblical Truth for Calm + Clarity

You love God. You want peace… but your emotions feel loud, exhausting and overwhelming. If you’re tired of feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted and stuck in overthinking loops, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

I’m also the host of this multi-award-winning podcast, where I help Christian women learn how to manage emotions using brain science and Scripture so they can respond with calm, clarity and confidence — not emotional chaos. On the podcast, we talk honestly about anxiety, fear, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism, disappointment and navigating emotions in marriage, motherhood and family life. You’ll learn practical emotional managemen

  Ep 381: My Life Right Now: When God Asks You to Surrender the Story You Wanted

  Sep 28, 202629 min

  What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected—and you can't fix it, control it, or even fully understand what God is doing? Maybe you're trying to trust God, but you're also angry, disappointed, grieving, or just plain confused. How do you hold all of those emotions without pretending everything is fine or letting those feelings take over? In this episode, I’m sharing something very personal that I’ve been walking through in my own family, especially as I navigate the complicated emotions that come with parenting young adult children. We’ll talk about what it really looks like to surrender when you’re still grieving, why pretending you’re “already on the other side” doesn’t actually help you heal, and how God can meet you in the messy middle. If you’re walking through a situation you wish were different, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to have all the answers—you can keep moving forward while trusting God with what you cannot control.

  Sep 21, 202628 min

  Do you find yourself reacting to frustrating situations even though you already know how you want to respond? Maybe it's your husband, your kids, your boss, or another difficult situation that sends you into an emotional spiral before you even have time to think.

  Ep 379: “How Do I Walk Through This Well?” Finding Emotional Clarity When Life Gets Complicated

  Sep 14, 202621 min

  What if you’re doing your best to follow God, but you honestly don’t know what to do? Life doesn't always come with a clear five-step answer. Sometimes we're caught between our emotions, what we believe God is asking us to do, what other people are telling us, and the patterns we've relied on for years—and we're left wondering, How do I actually walk through this well? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to slow down when life feels complicated, untangle the different voices and emotions involved, and find a wise next step instead of feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own.

  Ep 378: What Actually Helps When You're Carrying a Lot Emotionally

  Sep 7, 202636 min

  What do you actually need when you’re carrying a lot emotionally and you don’t even know where to start? In this episode, we’re slowing down and looking at five different emotional needs that can show up when life feels heavy—from feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to think clearly, to needing rest, deeper connection with God, community, or help navigating a specific situation. Instead of assuming you need to try harder or learn “one more thing”, let’s talk about how to identify what you actually need in this season and choose a next step that fits.

  Ep 377: “Which Voice Should I Listen To?” Making Sense of Your Competing Thoughts + Emotions

  Aug 31, 202630 min

  Some days it feels like there’s a ton of different voices in your head—each one saying something different. Which do we listen to? One says, "Do this," while another says, "No, stay here," and then guilt, fear, or another emotion gets added to the mix. In this episode, we’re talking about where those competing thoughts and emotions can come from and how to make sense of them without automatically believing, obeying, or shutting them down. We’ll look at the different parts of our inner experience, why emotions, predictions, beliefs, and needs aren't all the same thing, and how our past experiences can influence what feels loudest in the moment. Most importantly, we’ll talk about what it looks like to bring all of those voices before the Holy Spirit, allowing them to be heard without allowing them to lead. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN [00:00] Why It Can Feel Like You Have Conflicting Voices Inside [02:00] Understanding the Different Parts of Your Inner Experience [05:00] Emotions, Predictions, Beliefs + Needs Aren’t All the Same [08:00] When Your Past Experiences Get Loud [10:00] Bringing Your Inner Noise to God Instead of Shutting It Down [14:00] Letting Every Voice Have a Seat—but Not the Head of the Table [17:00] Knowing What to Process With God + What to Bring to Someone Else [20:00] Taking Your Thoughts Captive Under the Authority of Christ RESOURCES: Emotional Confidence Club This month's Emotional Confidence Club topic goes deeper into how to make sense of the different voices inside, what to do when one voice gets especially loud, and how to discern what God may be asking you to do. The club takes these concepts beyond learning and helps you actually practice them in real-life situations alongside other Christian women.
