Summary

Hey everyone! Welcome to the very first episode of our new series, Mental Health and The Church. For years, I've been getting emails and questions on the road about my mental health journey, especially my experience with postpartum depression. It's something we never really talked about in my faith community growing up, but I felt it was time to open up and share my story. This month, we're dedicating our conversations to exploring the intersection of faith and mental health. It's a complex and important topic, and I hope you stick around to learn and grow with us.

My husband Ben and I are obsessed with helping people live the abundant life God has called them to live. At 17 years old, in the backseat of a car on the way to a party, I heard the voice of God speak to my heart and say, “There’s more to life than this! Come follow me.” With tears in my eyes, I instantly yelled out to those sitting beside me that I had a call on my life. I told them they were welcome to join, but I was going to serve God. Flashforward to today - I have the same fire in my spirit to chase after all that God has called me to while helping others do the same - whether that’s writing a book, prepping a message, or growing spiritually & hearing God in your every day. 💛 Because you know what, friend? Life is too short, God is too good, and your calling is too great for you to keep hiding what you’ve got from this world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	Hi, welcome to Havliss Podcast. I'm your host Havlick Huntington and I'm really
0:05.6	excited you're here because we're doing a first. We've never done this on this
0:10.3	podcast. We've never had a conversation that many times for many years I've been
0:15.8	emailed about, asked about on the road. It's probably the top thing that's consistently
0:21.0	been asked of me for many years and that is to talk about my
0:24.8	journey in mental health and specifically post-prime depression but really
0:30.0	mental health so we decided that we would take an entire month faith and mental health. So we decided that we would take an entire month faith and
0:34.1	mental health because they are joined together but they don't necessarily
0:41.1	one one doesn't actually define the other.
0:43.7	There really is a uniqueness and an intertwining
0:46.2	and a safety and understand the difference
0:49.1	when it comes to mental health.
0:50.2	So I really hope you'll just,
0:51.9	you'll hang out with us, hopefully you'll learn a lot. And as somebody who was pretty
0:56.0	skeptical on this topic for many years and kind of had a train wreck in my own life, this has been something that I know is a popular topic, but when I started my
1:06.2	journey in this, it was not something we talked about specifically in faith environments.
1:10.5	So I'm really glad you're here. And this week we're going to talk about my journey in post-part depression
1:16.5	Now I don't know about you but growing up I never heard about post-part depression in fact the only thing I could remember I believe
1:23.8	Brooke Shields went public at one point about post-prime depression probably on
1:28.5	an Oprah show or something like that and that was all I really knew and I didn't know what that fully meant. I kind of
1:36.1	remember those news shows where the woman would you know the bit her her children or
