Sheila Walsh: The Cost of Pretending You’re Okay - Buried Emotions, Depression, Mental Health & the Courage to Heal, Ep. 318
The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton
The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton will air every Tuesday morning from here on out covering topics such as Leadership, Grit, Work Ethic…In this powerful conversation, bestselling author and beloved speaker Sheila Walsh opens up about the hidden cost of pretending you’re okay. Sheila shares her deeply personal journey from appearing on The 700 Club to checking herself into a psychiatric hospital, revealing what happened when years of buried emotions, pain, and depression finally became impossible to ignore. She and Zach explore why what we refuse to feel can eventually overwhelm us, why vulnerability is not weakness, and how healing often begins when we finally tell the truth about what’s happening inside. Sheila also shares how faith, counseling, community, and learning to face rather than bury her emotions helped transform her darkest season. If you’ve ever felt pressure to hold it all together while quietly falling apart, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to pretend, and you don’t have to heal alone.
