49: Still in Process: A Story of Suicide Survival

Where is God in our depression and despair?  How do we live in between the two realities the Bible presents of a "fallen world and fragile body" and "future wholeness and glory?"  On this episode, we sat down with one of our dear friends who knows what it's like to be at the very end of yourself and ready to take your own life; but God caused his story to continue.  Tune in to hear some from-the-heart insight on what it looks like to still be a work in process after surviving suicide and presently battling depression.  If you or a loved one has ever struggled mentally or emotionally, this episode is for you.National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:  1-800-273-8255Supporting Someone with a Mental Health Problem:https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/supporting-someone-mental-health-problemGet connected with a licensed professional counselor today online at faithful counseling.com/milenaFollow us on IG!@asformeandmyhousepodcast (https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/?hl=en)@milenaciciotti  (https://www.instagram.com/milenaciciotti/?hl=en)@jordanciciotti (https://www.instagram.com/jordanciciotti/?hl=en)Find all of our notes from this week’s episode in our IG stories!

48: Choosing Faith Over Fear in the Midst of Uncertainty: Overcoming Worry and Seeing Opportunity

Often we don’t get to choose what happens to us, all we get to choose is what we'll do with it. While no one would have chosen a pandemic or quarantine or social distancing, we do have the hourly decision of what we'll do amidst it. As we stand together in the shadowy uncertainty of Covid-19, in this episode we'll discuss how we can choose hope over worry, faith over fear and rely on God in overcast days.Follow us on IG!@asformeandmyhousepodcast (https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/?hl=en)@milenaciciotti  (https://www.instagram.com/milenaciciotti/?hl=en)@jordanciciotti (https://www.instagram.com/jordanciciotti/?hl=en)Find all of our notes from this week’s episode in our IG stories!

41: Ending the Comparison Trap Part II: A Female Perspective on Shame

When it comes to the comparison trap, shame and envy are often working in cahoots with one another.In this episode, we’ll look specifically at comparison through the lense of shame. Shame is that feeling that washes over us, making us feel flawed, small and never good enough.The ladies tackle this episode with a much needed honesty surrounding their own struggle with shame within comparison and the dark side of social media. Often due to social media we are left with a lose-lose, we are either too much of something or not enough.Here’s a soundbite, “As women, our shame generally centers on our appearance, how people view us and this need to be perceived as ‘having it all together.’ And as if that wasn’t enough, women feel an added pressure to make it all appear effortless”Join us again as we mobilize to combat comparison together and overthrow lose-lose living.SponsorsHawthorne - Get 10% off your first purchase at Hawthorne.com (http://hawthorne.co/) with code "House"Four Sigmatic - Get 15% off your order at http://foursigmatic.com/HOUSEAlso!Follow us on IG!@asformeandmyhousepodcast (https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/?hl=en)@milenaciciotti  (https://www.instagram.com/milenaciciotti/?hl=en)@jordanciciotti (https://www.instagram.com/jordanciciotti/?hl=en)Find all of our notes from this week’s episode in our IG stories!
