Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I’m not depressed… but I’m not exactly thriving either”? As women who are juggling family, work, faith, and countless responsibilities, it’s easy to settle into survival mode. But what if God invites us to something more—something deeper than simply not feeling bad? What if He desires for us to flourish?

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. David Carreon joins the conversation to explore the powerful idea that flourishing—not just the absence of depression—is the true goal of mental and spiritual health. Drawing from his clinical experience, Dr. Carreon helps us understand what flourishing looks like and how it involves more than just feeling “okay.” It’s about cultivating a life of purpose, connection, and joy.

Whether you’ve struggled with depression or just feel stuck in a spiritual or emotional rut, this conversation is a grace-filled invitation to pursue a life that is vibrant, grounded, and whole. You were created to flourish, not just function. Let this conversation be the first step toward embracing a more joy-filled, connected, and purposeful life.
