161. Battling Stress and Burn Out? The BEST Strategy for Health, Joy, and Impact With Debbie Simmons

Hey Friend,

This episode is for my comadres. The ladies who are like me. We take it all on, we try to make it happen. We say yes and despite the cost, it gets done. We are on the go most of the time. We have those moments of impatience or extra stress, but by and large we are almost always juggling numerous responsibilities at once and we get stuff done.   And if you're like me, you might be in a place where you know you do a lot, you know you're busy. You know it PROBABLY would be good to slow down, but you haven't. Because you have to do what you have to do.    So if you're wanting to learn how to reduce stress, avoid burn out, and STILL live out the calling and purpose God's placed on your life. You'll want to tune in.   Today's guest shares her story of immense loss and tragedy followed by her propensity to take on too much at the expense of her health. The insights God has revealed to her are SOOoo helpful for all of us, providing VERY practical and specific ways we can partner with God to minimize stress and maximize our rest and trust in God.   I will give a trigger warning. There is infant loss in the story shared today. It is not shared without hope and the testimony of how God moved amidst this woman's life. Please proceed as you feel able to.   I pray this episode blesses you!
