The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

Can you remember the first time you really felt a deep sense of sadness? Looking back on your younger self, what would you say to them now? Sadness isn’t an emotion we always care to admit out loud or bring people into. But the truth is the Bible is full of characters dealing with dark and heavy circumstances; we see all kinds of people – including Jesus – feeling AND expressing their fear, loneliness, and anxiety, while they faithfully pursued God’s heart. In this vulnerable conversation, Candace and Jennie share their earliest memories related to sadness, how depression has impacted their lives, and the pressures we all face to smile through the low times - and just be happy. If you are struggling with depression, or you know someone who is, listen in with grace + compassion. You are not alone, this is for you. Connect with Candace and Jennie: Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Jennie on Instagram @jennieallen  Grab Jennie’s book: Untangle Your Emotions Learn more about your ad choices.

Mental health is the same as physical health – a bodily experience. That being said, we experience mental illness differently than physical illness because when it comes to our mental health, it challenges our identity. It’s healthy to have emotions and feel them because they’re part of our bodily experience. But how do we respond to them? How do we navigate them? How do we care for our minds well? Today, Candace is joined by Dr. Anita Phillips to talk about mental health, and while this is a topic that many are afraid to talk about … it is a needed + valuable conversation.  Did you know that mental health and faith go hand in hand? Jesus has expressed his emotions in many ways throughout His life on earth. He never avoided them and never repented of them. Why?
