What does it really mean to become the best version of yourself in God?
In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem Fadling sits down with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Alison Cook to talk about Christian boundaries, finding your voice, healing trauma, and facing emotional pain with faith.
Dr. Alison shares a deeply personal story that shaped her book The Best of You, and we explore why so many Christian women struggle to recognize their needs, speak up in relationships, and set healthy boundaries without guilt. We also look at how Jesus modeled a strong sense of self, and why facing your pain is essential to spiritual growth and emotional healing.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Is it selfish to focus on my needs?
- How do I set boundaries as a Christian?
- Why is it so hard to use my voice?
- How do I heal from past wounds with God?
This conversation will encourage you to rest deeper, live fuller, and lead better.
