03. When My Burnout Breaking Point Became God's Starting Point

from Work-Life Boundaries | Work & Life Balance, Working Moms, Burnout, Mindset, Bible Reading Plan · host Bethany Siems - Christian Life Coach for Working Moms

If you’re a Christian working mom who feels like you’re carrying too much, trying to hold everything together, and quietly running on empty… this episode is for you. In this episode, I’m sharing the personal moment when I realized my burnout wasn’t just about being tired — it was about how much I had been relying on my own strength instead of truly surrendering to God. I had been stuck in the cycle so many high-performing women know well: pushing harder, overthinking everything, trying to fix it all and still ending up overwhelmed, emotionally drained and disconnected from the peace I so desperately wanted. My lack of work-life balance was affecting my heart, my home, my marriage and my motherhood. But that breaking point? That’s exactly where God met me. This episode is an honest conversation about burnout, self-sufficiency, work-life boundaries and what it looks like to let Jesus rebuild you from the inside out. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, constantly distracted, spiritually dry or like you’re showing up for everyone else while losing yourself in the process, I want you to know: you are not alone. We’re talking about: The warning signs of burnout for Christian working moms How striving and perfectionism can pull you away from God’s peace Why slowing down with Jesus is essential for clarity, healing and alignment What Scripture shows us about dependence, pruning and surrender How to begin creating space for God in your everyday life I pray this episode will meet you right where you are and encourage you to stop glorifying constant output and start asking God what is actually yours to carry. Because just because you can do it all doesn’t mean you were ever meant to.   Worship all week with the Jesus Anthem Spotify Playlist: http://bit.ly/4a0MMwK Let's connect and get to work on building boundaries: 1.
