Together, Nicole and Melanie Pratt, radio personality of Charlotte Praise 100.9, dive deep into the intersection of faith and emotional intelligence—challenging the tendency to “put glitter on it” in church and in life, while ignoring the pain beneath. With vulnerability and wisdom, Melanie shares her personal journey from singing in choirs to becoming a trusted voice on gospel radio, and what she’s learned about healing, authenticity, and emotional maturity along the way.

🔑 In this conversation, you’ll discover:
- Why faith and healing aren’t either/or—but both/and.
- How unprocessed emotions like anger, fear, and grief sabotage spiritual growth.
- The power of emotional intelligence as a toolkit for resilience, conflict, and capacity.
- Why being the same person in all spaces is the foundation of trust and integrity.
- How healthy conflict, pausing, and self-awareness can transform relationships.

This episode is a candid, liberating reminder that spiritual maturity requires emotional maturity—and that true faith is never about hiding pain, but about healing it.
