Mental Health for Holiness

A podcast for women who want to find hope in their mental sufferings, and improve their psychological well-being so they can love Jesus more. At the age of 24, Talia Kruse was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder type 2. She wondered how this would affect her future, her faith, and her identity. She felt quite hopeless, unable to find or connect with others who had successfully managed their bipolar disorder in a way that led to growing in holiness and virtue. Encouraged by her psychiatrist, she started a journey of mental healing. After getting married and becoming a mother, Talia saw the desperate need that other women needed in learning to manage their own mental health. She began coaching women and became passionate in spreading hope for all those who suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar, or are perhaps dealing with loved ones who are suffering from these illnesses. Furthermore, Talia learned to see her management of mental health as imperative for growing in holiness, and loves to explore the connection between psychology and faith.

Why is Emotional Regulation so Important? Part One: Decision Making.

January 24, 2025 • Talia Kruse

The first in a 3 part series on why emotional regulation is so important.

In today's episode I give a short explanation of why emotional regulation is important for our decision making skills. We make hundreds of decisions every day, and when our decisions are strictly emotion based, it can affect our whole life - our relationships, our finances, our prayer life, our happiness, our holiness - everything!

When we can grow in emotional regulation so that we can still make sound decisions that are not just reactions to our emotions, we will be on our way to making good habits and growing in virtue.
