Why are you so disciplined at work, but lose control at night?
That was my wake-up call recently. During the day, I’m structured, focused, and disciplined. But at night — especially when I’m alone — I realized I was using food to self-soothe, distract, and even entertain myself.
And here’s what God showed me:
It’s not a willpower problem. It’s an identity problem.
In this message, I share:
✅ How trauma shaped the way I viewed rest and why rest felt unsafe
✅ Why “work you” has structure, but “off-work you” feels undefined or lost
✅ How denial and self-soothing creep in at night (food, scrolling, drinking, etc.)
✅ The revelation God gave me about building an “off-work identity in Christ”
This isn’t about shame or more self-control. It’s about asking God: Who am I when the workday ends?
