The Christian Women's Journey to Healing & Identity in Christ | Faith-Based Emotional Healing
Real Emotions, Real Healing, Real Jesus.
You were created for more than survival - you were made to live free, whole, and deeply connected to God. But when life leaves us unseen, stuck, or spiritually disconnected, it’s easy to forget who we are in Christ and start building our identity on the wrong things.
In The Christian Women’s Journey to Healing & Identity in Christ, Christian Emotional Healing Coach Melissa Chan, PhD, together with her good friend and co-host Jasmine Barcia, walk with you through the process of healing from past wounds, breaking unhealthy cycles, and confronting negative self-beliefs - so you can live with confidence, freedom, and deep intimacy with God, yourself, and the people you love.
Through biblical truths, raw personal stories, and trauma-informed heart-work, you’ll learn how to release shame, rewrite the narratives you’ve carried for too long, and embrace the secure, unshakable identity God gave you. Whether you’re navigating low self-esteem, relational struggles, church hurt, spiritual burnout, or cycles you can’t seem to break - this is your space to heal, grow, and reclaim who you truly are in Christ.

What if the real me isn’t enough for people? | How to overcome people pleasing with God
The Real Truth About People Pleasing
Most people think people pleasing is just about being “too nice” or not wanting to disappoint others, but the truth runs much deeper. For many of us, people pleasing is actually a trauma response - what we psychologists call fawning. It’s how we learned to survive unsafe environments, and it often shows up in ways we don’t even recognize.
In this episode, I share:
- The deeper reasons behind people pleasing that go beyond what you might expect
- The barriers and fears that keep us stuck in these patterns (and what you might feel when you start saying no)
- Tangible ways to begin overcoming people pleasing with God’s help, so you can walk in true freedom
If you’ve ever felt guilty for setting boundaries, terrified of rejection, or unsure who you are apart from meeting others’ needs, this conversation's for you.
