    When Friendships End & God Doesn't

    Hey friend! Welcome back to InsidHer, and this episode is one that is close to my heart. Today we are talking about friendship breakups. And I want to start by saying something that I don't think gets said enough. Friendship loss is real grief. There is no ritual for it. No playlist. No clear language for what it feels like when someone who knew your inside jokes, your family drama, and your 2am thoughts just isn't there anymore. But what doesn't get named doesn't get healed. So today we are naming it. In this episode I share a conversation my mother had with me as a little girl that I have never forgotten. I talk about the quiet endings; the ones with no villain, no dramatic moment, just a slow recognition that your values and someone else's are pulling in different directions. And I talk about what Job 1:21 has to do with the people we love and lose. Because when friendships end, God doesn't. He is the constant in every season, every chapter, every loss. In this episode we talk about: Why friendship breakups are one of the most underrated forms of griefWhat my mother taught me about trusting peopleWhy friendships end and what you often can't see comingWhat Job 1:21 has to say about the people God gives and takesThe prayer that has healed my heart more than any breakdown ever couldThis episode is connected to the blog post, When Friendships End and God Doesn't, over at AbigailBadu.com. Head there after you listen to read, reflect, and go even deeper. Journal prompt for this episode: Think about a friendship that has shifted or ended in your life. Without focusing on who was right or wrong, what did you actually lose in that relationship? What did that friendship teach you about yourself, about what you need, and about what you have to offer? And is there anything in that experience you haven't fully brought to God yet? If this episode resonated with you please share it with someone who might need it. And follow along on Instagram at @insidherpodcast for the weekly conversation. The people you've lost don't get to take your peace with them. And you are never ever walking through this alone. 🤍 Until next time, I'm Abigail, and this is InsidHer. Note: I am not a therapist, counselor, or pastor.

    The Hourglass in My Head

    Hey friend! Welcome to the first episode of this new season of InsidHer. I am so glad you are here for this one. Today we are talking about anxiety. Not the clinical kind necessarily, the everyday kind. The Tuesday morning in your closet kind. The kind that starts before you even walk out the door and follows you through every decision, big and small, until you are completely exhausted by your own mind. I struggle with anxiety. And in this episode I am getting honest about what that actually looks like from the inside — the spiral, the what ifs, the questions that never seem to stop. And more importantly, what God's Word has to say about it. But here is what I really want to talk about today. The gap. The gap between knowing Scripture and actually letting it work in you in the moment. Because I think that is where a lot of us are living, and nobody talks about it honestly enough. You can know 2 Timothy 1:7 by heart and still stand in your closet on a Tuesday completely paralyzed. That does not make you a bad Christian. It makes you human. In this episode we talk about: What anxiety actually feels like from the insideWhy the surface question is almost never the real questionThe gap between knowing God's Word and feeling it work in youWhat 2 Timothy 1:7 says about power, love, and self-disciplineThree things to carry with you the next time the spiral startsThis episode is connected to the blog post — The Hourglass in My Head — over at AbigailBadu.com. Head there after you listen to read, reflect, and go even deeper. Journal prompt for this episode: Think about the last time anxiety showed up for you, even in something small. What was the surface question you were asking yourself? And underneath that, what was the real question? What were you actually afraid of? Write it out without judgment. Just let it be honest. If this episode resonated with you please share it with a woman in your life who might need it. And follow along on Instagram at @insidherpodcast for the weekly conversation. You are not your what ifs. And you are not walking through them alone. 🤍 Until next time, I'm Abigail, and this is InsidHer. Note: I am not a therapist, counselor, or pastor.

    I'm Back! And I Remember Who I Am

    Hey friend. I'm back. And before we go anywhere together I owe you an honest conversation. It has been three years since InsidHer had a new episode. Three years of quiet. And in this reintroduction episode I am sharing exactly where I went, what brought me back, and what this new season of InsidHer is going to be. The honest version, I lost my footing. I got silenced by fear, by doubt, and by outside voices that were louder than they should have been. I questioned my message, my voice, and my right to take up this space. And somewhere in the middle of all of that I forgot, just for a season, who God called me to be. But God is faithful. And patient. And He kept calling. So I went back to the basics. Back to His Word. Back to healing the parts of myself that needed tending before I could show up here and tend to anyone else. And slowly — not all at once, not in a straight line — I remembered. This is my calling. This is what God placed in me. And it was never up for anyone else to have an opinion about. This episode is also an honest confession. In the earlier seasons of InsidHer my faith wasn't fully connected to my message. I was afraid that being too Jesus focused would make me less likable. I kept that part of myself tucked away. I cannot do that anymore. I will not do that anymore. Because my faith is not a footnote in my story. It is the whole story. It is the reason I am still standing. It is the reason I came back. In this episode I share: Where I went and why I stepped awayWhat God did in me during the quiet seasonWhy faith is now fully at the center of everything on InsidHerWhat is coming in this new season (anxiety, friendship breakups, and a four part forgiveness series) that changed my lifeThis season it is just me. No co-hosts. No guests. Just honest conversations about faith, mental health, and the things we don't get enough time for in church or Bible study. Each episode is connected to a blog post over at AbigailBadu.com where you can read, reflect, and go even deeper. I am so glad you are here. And I cannot wait to do this with you. Until next time, I'm Abi. 🤎 Note: I am not a therapist, counselor, or pastor.

Being a black man in America means being my brother’s keeper while keeping a distance from my brother because I don’t trust him further than I can see him. It’s believing the cops don’t care about you. It’s learning how not to doubt yourself because when you’re born everyone else already does.” —Poet Prentice Powell, written following the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 Join Abigail and Odie in this empowering conversation as we dive into the relationship between men, black men, and mental health.  Follow us @insidherpodcast and share your healing journey with us at www.abigailbadu.com Abigail Badu.LLC, InsidHer, and all entities do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
