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.

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.

Ep 368: What Am I Really Longing for When I Feel Lonely and Disconnected?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do we still feel lonely when we're surrounded by people who love us? In this episode, we continue the conversation about loneliness by looking beyond the feeling itself and exploring the deeper longings underneath it.
We discuss why loneliness is often less about a lack of people and more about a lack of meaningful connection, how our needs for connection change throughout different seasons of life, and why midlife often brings these longings to the surface. You'll learn how to identify what you're truly longing for, where you may be settling for interaction instead of connection, and how God can use these feelings to guide you toward deeper relationships with Him and others.
