Speaking words of hope out of the darkness of anorexia, depression and self-harm

The Speak Out Loud Podcast is sharing hope and encouragement to those who struggle with mental health and to those who love and support them.

In the Speak Out Loud podcast, Stacee and Doug share from their very personal story of experiencing God's sustaining grace, love and power in the ongoing journey of recovery from life-long struggles with depression, anorexia, and self-harm. Stacee and Doug are not professional counselors, but team together to speak words of hope into the darkness of mental illness.

Stacee recognizes she's on a journey of recovery and like any journey, some roads are smoother and some days are better than others. God is changing her life and has given her a message of hope she is eager to share. For those struggling with issues like hers or just struggling through the journey of life, Stacee’s hope is that out of her pain and past, she is able to encourage and point others to the life-giving love, forgiveness, and hope which only come from God, the Father’s, heart.

“Stacee is not only a gifted speaker but is a powerful vessel of God’s love, healing, and redemption. Her message of finding real hope in Christ in the midst of real struggle profoundly resonates.
Lives were changed!”
