The Christian Mindset Coach with Alicia Michelle: Managing Emotions and Overwhelm Using Brain Science and Biblical Truth for Calm + Clarity
You love God. You want peace… but your emotions feel loud, exhausting and overwhelming.
If you’re tired of feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted and stuck in overthinking loops, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.
Most Christian women were never taught how to manage emotions in a healthy, biblical way, especially in the middle of real life.
I’m Alicia Michelle, an ICF-certified life coach (ACC, CPLC), NeuroCoach and author of Emotional Confidence. I’m also the host of this multi-award-winning podcast, where I help Christian women learn how to manage emotions using brain science and Scripture so they can respond with calm, clarity and confidence — not emotional chaos.
On the podcast, we talk honestly about anxiety, fear, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism, disappointment and navigating emotions in marriage, motherhood and family life. You’ll learn practical emotional management tools that help you acknowledge what you’re feeling while still honoring biblical truth.
With nearly half a million downloads and 7 years running, by God’s grace this podcast has helped tens of thousands of Christian women build emotional confidence rooted in faith.
I’m so glad you’re here! Join me every Monday for a new episode and let's talk about how to stop reacting emotionally and start responding with clarity, calm and confidence.

345: Loving, Practical Ways to Comfort Those Walking Through Grief with Sherrie Pilkington
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it look like to show up well for those walking through grief? When someone we know is walking through grief, we want to help by knowing what to say to ease their pain.
And yet, many of us feel awkward around grief and loss. We worry that we’ll make things worse by saying the wrong thing. Often we don’t know how to emotionally support others without trying to fix the situation or offer what can feel like empty platitudes.
Today I’ve invited my friend and fellow podcaster Sherrie Pilkington to share her grief journey after the sudden loss of her husband several years ago. As an advocate for those walking through grief, Sherrie offers practical, much-needed suggestions to best care for a loved one on a grief journey in order to show Christian compassion during this challenging time.
