Knoxville-based clinical psychologist Dr. Janetta Jamerson, aka Dr. JJ, joins the I Am M.U.C.H. Woman podcast for an empowering discussion on breaking unhealthy relationship cycles, embracing emotions, and reclaiming personal agency. Dr. JJ likens growth to mastering video game levels, where confidence and skills build with each challenge. She and CortneyJo explore aligning with God’s inherent goodness, balancing hope, faith, and fantasy, and grieving unrealistic expectations to find freedom. Dr. JJ emphasizes making choices with courage, even amid fear, while CortneyJo shares her journey of “doing it afraid,” inspiring women to grow with authenticity and faith.
