Today marks the release of the very first episode of The Christian Wellbeing Show. Sharing her personal journey as a Christian of over 35 years, Michelle Simpson is here to discuss both the exciting aspects of her faith, and the traumatic challenges she has faced such as cult influences, anorexia and parental alienation. She questions whether the church adequately addresses trauma and shares her own experiences as a survivor of complex PTSD. Michelle aims to empower listeners to develop a healthier lifestyle and explore the church's role in promoting health and well-being, employing the experience she has gained from her various roles as a missionary, minister, mother and grandmother. Future listeners of the show can look forward to hearing, from Michelle, her co-host, and all of her guests as they cover a wide range of topics.

"I'll be looking at church and trauma. And does the church really address trauma? There'll be an episode on trauma, does the church care?"
"I've experienced a major health issue myself and found healing and help in a natural lifestyle. You don't need to have a qualification to understand the fundamentals and more of how to be healthier."

ABOUT THE SHOW
The Christian Wellbeing Show talks about the issues a lot of Christians don't talk about. What is trauma, how does it affect us, how can we heal, and how can the church do better to help? How can Christians be some of the healthiest people on the planet, and why does it matter? What are the five simple steps you can take to stay younger for longer? Michelle faces church control and abuse without flinching, and addresses issues in the church and in the world with courage and honesty. She empowers women, encourages faith, builds hope, reads God's Word, stands for freedom, speaks truth, and won't put up with a religious spirit. With a mix of spiritual inspiration and practical wisdom, solo hosting, guests and amazing co-host, The Christian Wellbeing Show cares about you, your life, faith, health and wellbeing.
