Ever feel like your soul is just… tired? Like no matter how much you rest, something invisible still weighs you down?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the emotional backpack most of us carry every day — filled with guilt, people-pleasing, resentment, and responsibilities that were never ours to begin with. We do it thinking it will keep the peace… but really, it just keeps us exhausted.

in this podcast, we’ll explore:

  • What emotional “stones” we carry without realizing it
  • How to recognize when you’re holding what’s not yours
  • Make a plan for what to do instead
  • and a simple practice to name it, release it, and finally start feeling lighter


Whether it’s a memory, a mood, or someone else’s expectations — maybe this is the week you take one small stone out of your backpack and set it down for good.

This includes a short reflection + scripture encouragement (1 Peter 5:7).

🎧 Tune in, breathe deep, and remember:
Freedom isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about carrying less.
