Unfinished Grace- Mental Health and Wellness for Christians

Unfinished Grace- Mental Health and Wellness for Christians

By Brandi Kepley

Are you feeling so lost in anxiety and depression that you feel like you don’t even know who you are in more? Are you feeling burnt out and overwhelmed by the weight of this world? Are you tired of being told to “just suck it up” and “pray more about it”? Are you wanting to make a change but afraid of what others will think?

My friend, you aren’t alone. I was raised in a Christian household and yet still found myself in this position. I have learned so much about grace, community, and prioritizing my health from the inside out along my journey, and I want to share hat I’ve learned with YOU!

I am so excited about the opportunity I was given to coauthor with 33 other amazing women in the book Becoming an Unstoppable Woman in Health and Wellness! Ebooks are available now on Amazon for $0.99 at the link below, and you can get a personally signed paperback copy by emailing me today! For season 3 of the Unfinished Grace Podcast, I am interviewing my fellow authors on their testimonies.
This week I had the privilege of chatting with Krystal Vernee- entrepreneur, author, podcast host, and business coach. Krystal owns her own dance studio and coaching business, both of which allow her to empower women to transform their passion into profits. Aside from talking about her business expertise, Krystal also shared a glimpse into her mental health journey with us. Thank you for your vulnerability, Krystal. I know your story will inspire many.
