Elie's Story

We have our first guest for episode  #3 of the Pineapple Principle Podcast. Eliana Freeman, "Elie" shares her story about her battle with anxiety and depression. Elie is a junior with a major in advertising. She is our content creator here at Pineapple Principle, while also working as the social media manager for her church. Plus serves as the creative director for the youth ministry there also. Elie and I discuss her struggle with anxiety and depression that started in middle school. We dive into how she was effected, and how she faced those giants. She is all about about bringing it out of the darkness and into the light. She tells how she overcame her darkest season, and shares with us from her journal during that time. I think you will be inspired by her story of putting on her full armor and allowing God to work on her to overcome that season of darkness.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or any other mental health problem, please reach out to an adult you trust for help. If you feel you have no one, you can text HOME  to 741741 at the Crisis Text Line or you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
