In this episode, we dive into the complex relationship between faith, spirituality, and mental health. We explore how spiritual practices and beliefs can be powerful sources of strength, resilience, and hope—helping to ground us, reduce stigma, and foster a sense of belonging. At the same time, we examine the moments when faith traditions or religious expectations may create barriers, deepen shame, or negatively impact mental well-being. Through honest conversation and thoughtful insight, we discuss how to recognize both sides of this dynamic and share ways to navigate the tension—honoring the positive role of spirituality while breaking free from the aspects that may hold us back.
