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.

Ep 373: What Is Emotional Regulation (And Why It's More Than "Calming Yourself Down")
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if emotional regulation isn't about calming yourself down—but becoming available to hear God more clearly? So many of us have been taught to suppress our emotions, push through them, or simply "get over it." But that's not how God designed us to heal.
In this episode, I explain what emotional regulation really is, why it's the missing step before emotional processing, and how learning to prepare your body, mind, and soul can help you respond with greater wisdom instead of reacting automatically. You'll also discover why emotional regulation is a spiritual practice that helps you stay connected to God even in the middle of difficult emotions.
