Jill Phillips Gullahorn is a gifted musician, artist, and storyteller, as well as a Nashville-based therapist dedicated to helping individuals achieve health and freedom in their relationships. She guides clients toward greater self-awareness and clarity about their identities, desires, and needs for flourishing in their lives.

In our conversation, Jill shared her expertise in using a range of therapeutic approaches, from the Enneagram to EMDR, to facilitate self-discovery and inner transformation. She delved into the concept of "superhuman syndrome," exploring the origins of overfunctioning in women and how to cultivate self-compassion and freedom. Jill also discussed how shame manifests in our bodies and the power of somatic modalities to enhance self-acceptance.

Together, we reflected on our shared spiritual backgrounds and the challenges we’ve faced regarding mental well-being within Christianity. Jill highlighted the stark contrast between these experiences and the teachings of Biblical scripture, emphasizing Jesus’ example of embracing the full spectrum of human emotions.

You’ll leave this conversation feeling deeply encouraged by Jill’s wisdom, kindness, and practical insights, which offer grace-filled guidance for everyday life.

A couple of years ago, during a dark period of my journey with depression, my Dad recommended a book by former Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine called “Unbeatable Mind.” That book transformed the way I understand my inner life by giving me the tools to change my thoughts by tapping into innate power, which I felt like I had lost access to.  

Mark is a severely impressive entrepreneur, leader, and coach. He’s the founder of SEALFIT, and a New York Times bestselling author known for his expertise in leadership, resilience, and mental toughness. After graduating as Honor Man of his SEAL BUD/S class, Mark served in the SEALs for 20 years, both on active duty and in the reserves, where he led numerous operations worldwide. His distinguished military career laid the foundation for his unique approach to personal and professional development.

Mark is the author of several influential books, including "The Way of the SEAL," "Unbeatable Mind," (the one that changed things for me!) and "Staring Down the Wolf," which provide actionable insights into achieving peak performance and developing an unbeatable mind. His SEALFIT training programs and Unbeatable Mind Academy have empowered thousands of individuals to push beyond their limits, enhance their physical and mental capabilities, and achieve extraordinary success in all areas of life.

A sought-after speaker and coach, Mark Divine combines his extensive military experience with a deep understanding of human potential. His work continues to inspire and equip individuals worldwide to navigate life's challenges with strength and clarity, embodying the warrior spirit in every endeavor.

I’m excited to share this conversation in honor of Father’s Day because it was my Dad who first connected me to Mark’s life-changing work. I hope this conversation inspires you and leaves you feeling empowered to stare down the wolf in your own life and unleash the warrior spirit within you that’s aching to set you free.

In many ways, this episode is the foundation for all others before it -- the inspiration for this entire podcast. And, I almost didn't record it. Not because the story isn't important; quite the opposite. But because telling such a deeply personal story took courage that it feels like I've spent years summoning.

In this episode, I share my personal struggle with depression. It has lasted more than twenty years, and has brought with it shame, hopelessness, and layers of pain. However, in early 2022, I learned a valuable insight that changed my perspective on my mental and emotional health and wellbeing. I unpack this learning and it's catalytic effect on who I am today as a means of sharing hope and knowledge with you.

If you, or someone you know, struggles with anxiety or depression, I hope you'll share this episode with them. If it touches one life, it will have done its job.

Above all. I want to say out loud that “you’re not alone.” Please reach out anytime. The world not only wants you, it needs your light, desperately.
