Overcoming Burnout and Fear-Based Living Through Faith with Eric Gilbert

December 10, 2025 • Dr Tomi Mitchell • Season 17 • Episode 2

Stress, anxiety, and burnout don’t happen in isolation—they are often rooted in deeper challenges around faith, purpose, and community. On this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, talk with Christian leadership and mental health coach Eric Gilbert about how faith, intentional action, and community support can help individuals overcome stress, build resilience, and create a life of meaning and purpose.

Eric shares how his experiences have shaped his approach to helping others find clarity, confidence, and peace. Together, we discuss practical strategies for managing anxiety, strengthening family relationships, and integrating faith into daily life for mental and emotional wellness.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How faith acts as a stabilizing force in managing anxiety, stress, and fear-based patterns, and how to integrate it into daily wellness practices
The importance of aligning relationships—with family, friends, and work—with your personal vision to prevent burnout and support long-term growth
Strategies for balancing family life and parenting with career responsibilities while maintaining intentionality, presence, and emotional connection
Practical tools for managing stress through nervous system regulation, self-care practices, and community accountability
How to embrace courageous action, make necessary life changes, and create a supportive environment for personal and spiritual growth
