In this powerful episode, Courtney sits down with Britt Skinner, LCSW, LICSW of Waymaker Christian Counseling, LLC to unpack the emotional and spiritual toll of anxiety and depression in the trying-to-conceive season.

Britt Skinner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and therapist specializing in anxiety, depression and codependence. In her work, she helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a biblical lens so they can move from overwhelm to a greater sense of harmony and peace. She's passionate about making mental health education accessible, practical, and compassionate—so people feel empowered to take care of their minds, not just their to-do lists. You can connect with Britt over on her instagram or her website.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or forgotten by God in your fertility journey, this episode will remind you that your emotions don’t disqualify your faith—and that peace is still possible right where you are.
