## Resource

You can love God deeply and still feel emotionally exhausted. In this episode, we talk honestly about the tension many women feel between spiritual willingness and emotional depletion. Wanting to show up, serve well, and do what God asks — while quietly running on empty. This conversation is for the woman who feels guilty for being tired, wonders why faith doesn’t feel energizing right now, and needs permission to honor her limits without shame. This isn’t about quitting or pulling back in fear. It’s about recognizing exhaustion as information — and learning how rest, support, and boundaries are acts of stewardship, not weakness. Jada 🔁 Episode 3 Recap Last week, we talked about how to discern your season when everything feels urgent.

What have I been pushing through that needs support instead?
