Breaking the Cycle of Mental Health Struggles with My Mom and Finding Hope
Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how mental health challenges can ripple through a family. My mom’s struggles with anxiety and depression deeply shaped my perspective, leaving me to wrestle with my own mental health journey as I grew older. Walking this road alongside her taught me both the weight of generational cycles and the incredible hope that comes with breaking free from them.
In this talk, I share the raw and real moments of living through those challenges—the heartache, the confusion, and the eventual realization that healing doesn’t come from pretending everything is fine but from acknowledging our pain and seeking God’s grace. I’ll explore how my experiences with anxiety and depression were influenced by this history and how God brought beauty from brokenness.
This session will resonate with anyone navigating mental health within their family or grappling with the tension of loving someone who is struggling while still fighting your own battles. It’s about holding space for grace, pursuing healing, and remembering that no matter where you come from, God has the final say over your story. Whether you’re on your own mental health journey or supporting someone you love, there is hope, freedom, and healing waiting for you.
