54 | Managing Emotions in Grief with Science + Scripture | Alicia Michelle

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
