The Fortitude Podcast

Dr. Amanda McNeil is is not only one of our personal counselors who has helped us build a marriage we are excited about, but she a doctor of Psychology and Theology as well as having her own personal story of deep loss and grief. She recently released a book called "Overcoming the Overcast: Navigating the Storms of Grief with God", in which she combines groundbreaking neuroscience and deep biblical insight to help with navigating loss while holding both profound pain and true hope. In this conversation we get into how our view of God's character can LITERALLY rewire our brain and how that then translates to how we process loss. We discuss healthy ways of navigating personal loss as well as what can be truly helpful if we are supporting a grieving friend. Whether you're familiar with grief or not, this is a do not miss episode!

We get asked often about the habits we have that strengthen our faith and help us put God at the center of our life and marriage. Many days our "ideal" list of habits doesn't happen, but we discuss some of the practical, small habits we've attached to other daily tasks that have been helpful for us whether or not those bigger "ideals" actually happen in a day. God knows the desires of our heart and His presence and love never change.

This week we dive into body image, particularly around the postpartum season, but also the pressures that come from society no matter what season we are in. Even when we know what is realistic, it can be hard to not compare and feel 'less than' about our bodies or the progress we are looking to make. Our conversation this week centers on Sarah's experience with "bouncing back" after pregnancy (spoiler alert, this isn't a thing, lol) and the mindset shifts she's implemented to have more grace with herself and her body's process...because we are all SO different.
