We hear Vineta’s journey from a sincere love for Jesus into perfectionism, burnout, and the exhausting chase for approval. We talk through how the gospel set her free, reshaped her view of mental health, and taught her to meet depression with the gentleness of Christ.
• growing up with deep faith while absorbing a works-driven mindset
• discovering living faith outside one denomination through high school friendships
• carrying leadership titles as a substitute for worth and belonging
• hitting burnout and naming the need for people’s approval
• healing in layers through rest, simplicity, and community
• hearing that Jesus died for sins done against us and choosing forgiveness
• walking through depression and anxiety without treating it as spiritual failure
• learning discernment between spiritual health and mental health
• practicing Jesus’ way of gentleness and humility with ourselves and others
• replacing striving with the truth that we are already loved
