Girl, Just Feel Podcast with Dr. Ajene Gailliard
What if the very thing you’ve been trying to suppress is actually where your healing begins? You’ve learned how to be strong. You carry it all, show up, and keep going, no matter what’s happening inside. Your faith matters to you. You’ve prayed. You’ve trusted God. You’ve believed His Word, but if you’re honest, the peace you’ve been believing for still feels just out of reach. And somewhere along the way, you started to believe that if you really had faith, you wouldn’t feel this way at all.
But what if your emotions aren’t the problem?
What if they’ve never been?
On the Girl, Just Feel Podcast, I’m inviting you into a different way of healing. One that doesn’t require you to silence your or control your emotions to prove your faith.
I’m Dr. Ajene Gailliard, a licensed mental health professional, minister, sacred social scientist, and your big sister. Each episode, I walk with you through the truth about emotions, faith, and healing, while bringing together biblical wisdom and psychological insight in a way that finally makes sense.
Here, you’ll begin to understand that healing isn’t about getting rid of pain. It’s about learning how to navigate and integrate all your feelings, without fear. We’re going to challenge the belief that you have to control your emotions and confront the lie that emotional pain means spiritual failure. I want to help you experience what it actually looks like for your faith and your emotional life to work together and no longer be at war.
If you’ve mastered showing up for everyone else, but still feel disconnected from yourself, you’re in the right place.

Hey there! Welcome to a new season of the Girl, Just Feel Podcast.
This episode is deeply personal because honestly… I almost didn’t record it.
After pausing my original podcast, The Experience Freedom Podcast, for nearly two years, I finally sensed it was time to come back, but this time, not just audio. Video too. And if I’m honest? That terrified me.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind the relaunch, the fear, the perfectionism, the tears before pressing record, and why I’m choosing to show up anyway. We’re talking about what it looks like to stop waiting until you feel “ready” and start saying yes to the things God is calling you to even while you’re still healing.
I’m also sharing the heart behind the new name, Girl, Just Feel, and why I believe so many of us are exhausted, disconnected, emotionally overwhelmed, and spiritually stuck. Not because we’re broken… but because we’ve been taught to disconnect from ourselves.
This podcast is about healing. Real healing.
Not performance.
Not pretending.
Not highlight reels.
Just honest conversations about faith, emotions, mental health, healing, and learning how to live integrated and whole.
I’m so grateful you’re here for this new beginning with me.
