About this episode

The episode discusses how parents can support their daughters' mental wellness through faith and practical guidance.

When a daughter is struggling emotionally, many parents feel unsure where to begin. Is this typical girlhood stress? Anxiety? Depression? Something deeper? In today's culture—where girls report rising levels of sadness, loneliness, and mental health challenges—Christian parents need both discernment and hope. In this powerful episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Natalie Ambrose sits down with licensed counselor and author Dr. Natalie Atwell to talk about recognizing early signs of mental unwellness in girls and responding with both practical wisdom and prayerful confidence. Together, they explore how parents can identify emotional red flags, guide daughters toward emotional maturity, and create homes where struggles are met with grace rather than fear. Dr. Atwell also speaks directly to the spiritual dimension of mental health—helping families understand the difference between clinical mental illness and spiritual warfare, and how prayer, Scripture, and wise counseling can work together. If you've ever wondered how to intercede faithfully for a daughter who is anxious, withdrawn, overwhelmed, or battling dark thoughts, this conversation will equip you to lead with courage…
