263 | Hallway Prayers: Faith & Resilience in a High-Stress Career, With Dr. Kayla Fresco

from Thriving in Christ | Professional Women, High Level Habits, Resilience, Burnout, Stress, Grief · host Dr. Ioana Popa | Psychiatrist Educator, Executive Coach, Speaker & Spiritual Care Formation

Have you ever felt guilt for dedicating time to your career or perhaps caring for others while things at home are not quite done? In this renewal conversation, Dr. Kayla Fresco, a physician and mom, shares about the pressure many Christian women feel as they juggle demanding careers, family life, and their faith. From the isolation of medical training (which I can attest to) to finding a role that honors both her calling and her priorities, her story is a moving reminder that vocation and balance often evolve through difficult seasons. She also shares many powerful practices that helped her navigate chronic stress and hidden burnout. Together, Dr. Kayla and I discuss, ☀️ Major life setbacks, including a personal diagnosis and a redirect in her professional career.☀️ How revisiting her values helped her to find a good balance between work, family and her practice of faith.☀️ Her use of "hallway prayers" to help her stay grounded {a great idea}! ☀️ And so many amazing tips to help one stay calm and grounded! The Bible Verse that helps Dr. Kayla stay centered is this: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~ Matthew 6:21 And here is a disclaimer from Dr. Kayla to keep things in perspective: "The views expressed in this interview are those of Dr. Fresco's and do not represent the Department of Veterans Affairs or the US government."
