Allie and licensed therapist RaQuel Hopkins dismantle today’s feel-good therapy culture. “Protect your peace” has produced fragile adults. RaQuel calls for optimization, not coddling. Tough love builds capacity; toxic empathy breeds victims. Reject self-obsession; embrace personal responsibility. Tune in for biblical clarity on emotions, resilience, and why your pain isn’t special — but God’s grace is.
