Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast

Over the next few weeks I’ll be having raw, open, and honest conversations with some of the top Christian leaders and teachers, asking them: are YOU really ok?  This series comes in anticipation of my upcoming book, Are You Really OK?, challenging each and every one of us to get real about how we’re really doing. It takes courageous people to openly and publicly talk about their journey with mental and emotional health, but these are the exact conversations that begin taking down the stigma, paving the way for us to truly get real about how we’re doing as Christians. Today’s session with Natalie Grant is SO hopeful. A top Christian female vocalist, she has been through her own journey with anxiety and panic in the most unexpected places. She hit her low point, and needed the people in her life to carry her through. Her story will remind you that you are not alone, that you don’t have to be okay, and that there is room for Jesus, therapy AND medication in your life. All of the above. I know this on-air session will challenge you. Be sure to listen to the end where I give a summary of our talk, as well as ways you can apply it to your own journey of getting healthy from the inside out and asking — Are YOU really OK? So sit back, and enjoy this vulnerable conversation with Natalie Grant on the Are You Really OK? Podcast Series a part of the Love + Relationships Podcast with Debra Fileta. Now it’s your turn.

Over the next 8 weeks I’ll be having raw, open, and honest conversations with some of the top Christian leaders and teachers, asking them: are YOU really ok?  This series comes in anticipation of my upcoming book, Are You Really OK?, challenging each and every one of us to get real about how we’re really doing. It takes courageous people to openly and publicly talk about their journey with mental and emotional health, but these are the exact conversations that begin taking down the stigma, paving the way for us to truly get real about how we’re doing as Christians. We’re opening this series with one of my favorite leaders….Pastor JP Pokluda. One thing that really sticks out to me about JP is his blunt and point-blank approach to life. For him, nothing is off limits to talk about. And nothing to dark for Jesus to shine his light. And this conversation is no different. I know this on-air session with him will challenge you. Be sure to listen to the end where I give a summary of our talk, as well as ways you can apply it to your own journey of getting healthy from the inside out and asking — Are YOU really OK?

When it comes to sharing about your past relationships…how much is too much? Today’s question comes from Kristen from Indiana, who wants to know: what is important, or even healthy to share, with a boyfriend/girlfriend or fiancé about your past relationship? I start off by putting the answer to sharing about your past into two different categories, because I think what you share with a boyfriend or girlfriend is going to look different than a fiancé. “The level of sharing in a relationship has to coincide with the level of trust.” Don’t miss this new episode!
