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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the very thing you’ve been taught to suppress is actually the doorway to your healing?
In this episode of the Girl, Just Feel Podcast, Dr. Ajene begins unpacking one of the core messages behind this platform: emotions are not the enemy.
She shares her personal journey with chronic stress, unexplained physical symptoms, anxiety, perfectionism, and survival mode. And explains how disconnecting from our emotional lives can quietly impact our mental, spiritual, and physical health. Through both biblical insight and psychological understanding, she challenges the belief that healing comes from suppressing emotions and introduces a new way of understanding what emotions and feelings actually are.
If you’ve spent years trying to “hold it together,” pray harder, push through, or avoid what you feel, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
