In this episode of True Vine Talks, we’re exploring religious abuse, inspired by the Netflix documentary 'Death of a Pastor’s Wife'. Joined by our fellow counselor, Hannah Eastman, who also brings the perspective of a pastor’s wife, we discuss what religious abuse can look like, why it can be so difficult to recognize, and what makes speaking up so hard. Together, we explore how faith communities can foster safety, accountability, and healing, and how people can begin to recover without losing the parts of their faith that matter to them.

In this episode, we look beyond the headlines of the Clancy case to have a deeper conversation about maternal mental health. Joined by Board-Certified Midwife and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Kelly Lemon, we explore postpartum mental health, the warning signs that can be overlooked, the gaps between physical and mental healthcare, and how we can better support women during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. This is a conversation about compassion, awareness, and the importance of taking women’s mental health seriously.

What happens when your plate is full, but you keep saying yes anyway? In this episode, we’re talking about overcommitment, people-pleasing, and the difficulty of tolerating other people’s disappointment.
