In this powerful episode of the Fearless Tips and Talks podcast, we conclude our Steadfast series with a special guest, Brooklynn Glasgow. Fresh off her high school graduation in May, Brooklynn is about to embark on a new chapter at Graceland University, where she'll be studying pre-occupational therapy and playing collegiate softball.
Brooklynn opens up about her personal journey, sharing how anxiety and depression have shaped her life, especially following a significant family event that left her at rock bottom. She discusses the impact of the rumor mill and the importance of standing up for what's right, offering advice for those facing similar challenges.
Brooklynn also dives deep into her experiences with loneliness, losing friends, and battling her own mental health during her senior year. She bravely shares how a fostering situation led to a painful blowup, but ultimately, how she found the courage to forgive, and how that forgiveness played a key role in alleviating her anxiety.
Medication, pride, and the struggle to regain her happiness are all on the table, as Brooklynn reflects on her journey from a place of despair—sleeping all the time, barely eating—to rediscovering her energy, motivation, and joy beyond sports.
Brooklynn offers insights on what she would do differently, the dangers of emotional stuffing, and most importantly, the lessons Jesus taught her through these trials, including the value of not leaning too heavily on relationships and the power of prayer, even before games.
This episode is a heartfelt and inspiring conversation that you won't want to miss. Tune in as Brooklynn Glasgow shares her story of resilience, faith, and finding her way back to happiness.
