  • How Mental Health Actually Fits Into Your Faith (My New Framework)

    How Mental Health Actually Fits Into Your Faith (My New Framework)
    Jan 29 2026
    Episode DescriptionAfter months away, Roslyn is back with a brand-new framework that will shape the future of the God + Mental Health Podcast. In this episode, she unveils the 4-pillar framework she's been secretly developing—a simple yet profound map for understanding how mental health and faith intersect in your life.Born from a quiet retreat in November 2025 where God led her to study Genesis and identity, this framework provides clear language for concepts that often feel overwhelming: trauma, the nervous system, your relationship with God, and your authority as a believer.This isn't about staying stuck in your past—it's about understanding where you've been, addressing where you are now, and taking practical steps toward where God is calling you to go.In This Episode, You'll Discover:The 4-Pillar Framework:Identity – Your DNA in God and why you're 100% His daughter (not just positionally, but actually). Discover what it means that God is obsessed with knowing and loving you.Reclaiming Safety – How we adapt to our environments and why "undoing feels like dying." Learn what it means to find God safe again and why this might be the most challenging (and necessary) work you do.Rest & Its Power – Why rest isn't just about taking a nap. Explore how God's presence is restful, why He modeled rest in creation, and how your nervous system desperately needs this foundational practice.Authority – The delegated power God offers through Jesus. This isn't just about salvation—it's about reclaiming what's yours, including authority over the enemy and the power to transform how you think.Plus:Why Roslyn is shifting from talking about "where you've been" to focusing on where you are and where you're goingHow this podcast will provide emotional literacy (like teaching a kindergartener to read, but for your feelings)The Mary and Martha principle and what rest really looks like in Western cultureWhy this podcast is a tool, not a replacement for therapy or your relationship with GodKey Quotes:"I am 100% God's daughter in my identity. There is a crafted identity in Him—a blueprint of who we are and how He sees us.""God is obsessed with loving me and knowing me.""When we reclaim safety, we are reclaiming this aspect of us not adapting to what we've known.""Undoing feels like dying.""Rest allows us to understand that God's presence Himself is restful. It's powerful. It's full. It's heavy, but it's restful.""Authority is the delegated power God offers us through His son Jesus.""The past should hold information, but I also think we have to get curious about the past enough to where we can use that as not our current place, but our ability to say, I don't want to do this anymore and move forward.""This podcast will never replace mental health counseling. Just because I'm a licensed therapist does not mean I'm your therapist.""You are wanted and welcome in all that you do."What to Expect Moving Forward:This framework will become the foundation of every future episode. You'll hear Roslyn break down:The nervous system in simple termsCapacity and boundariesStillness and pauseYour authority as a believerEmotional literacy and language for complex feelingsHow to test everything against ScriptureEpisodes will be:Unscripted and authentic – showing up as your sister in ChristValue-packed and concise – short enough to listen without feeling overwhelmedPosted when inspired – no rigid schedule, just real, timely contentFocused on progression – past, present, AND future (not just dwelling on trauma)Action Steps:Take this framework back to the Father – Test everything Roslyn shares against ScriptureGet curious about your past – Use it as information, not your current identityAsk yourself: Where have I been? Where am I now?

  • Faith, Burnout, and Mental Health: A Therapist’s Honest Reflection

    Faith, Burnout, and Mental Health: A Therapist’s Honest Reflection
    Jan 25 2026

    After a long pause, I’m back—unscripted, honest, and sharing from where I truly am.

    In this episode, I open up about where I’ve been, why I stepped away from the podcast, and how faith and mental health have deeply reshaped my perspective in this season of life. This isn’t a polished or highly produced episode—it’s a real-time reflection on burnout, rest, integrity, and learning how to walk with God without pressure or performance.

    I share how faith and mental health have influenced me across four areas of my life:

    • As a therapist—what years of sitting with clients have taught me about belonging, safety, and being seen
    • As a person—why mental health is a daily practice and how motherhood forced me to relearn rest
    • As a friend—the emotional labor of friendships, boundaries, and walking with others through hard seasons
    • As a daughter in Christ—what I’ve learned about imperfection, vulnerability, and allowing God to meet me in pain rather than trying to escape it

    This episode marks the beginning of a gentler, more spacious season for the God and Mental Health Podcast. For now, episodes may be shorter, unscripted, and released as I have the capacity and creative energy to share—without pressure, performance, or pretending to have it all together.

    If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear from you.
