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.
🎁 Want a simple place to start? (FREE GIFT FOR YOU!) 🎁
I created a free 7-day course called Notice + Name Your Feelings to help you slow down and understand what you’re actually feeling — without judgment or overwhelm.
It’s a short, practical tool that helps you stop spiraling and respond with more peace and clarity.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Maybe it’s time to surrender a tough situation, or to “let” people be who they’re going to be. But how in the world does that happen? Let’s talk about why letting go feels so much harder than it sounds, what’s really underneath our resistance, and how to move toward peace without suppressing your emotions or pretending it doesn’t hurt.
Learn why surrender often brings up grief, fear, and identity questions, how stress loops form when situations don’t change, and what it looks like to process emotions with God so peace becomes possible, even when circumstances remain the same.
