Maybe it’s just a funk, maybe it’s more.
In this vulnerable episode, I reveal how I’ve been feeling “off”, taking my personal reflections to the mic to process. Am I dealing with depression? Just a hard season? More importantly, what am I doing to take care of myself during it, and what can you try, too? I share practical ways I’m facing my funk, and what I’m vowing to avoid from here on out as well. I hope you find encouragement and realize you’re not alone or weak if (and when) you struggle.

The verses I mentioned were
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
And the article I mentioned with more verses is here.
