269 | Why Pushing Harder Isn’t Working: Lead with God’s Direction Instead. With Leslie Nunn Reed

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

Many Christian women leaders feel the weight of responsibility when things stall - wondering if they need to push harder, fix more, or carry the burden alone. But what if the breakthrough you’re seeking isn’t about striving, but about learning how to see clearly, ask better questions, and partner with God in what is already unfolding? In today’s Renewal Conversation with Leslie Nunn Reed, we explore a different way of leading - one that moves from pressure to clarity, from reaction to creation, and from isolation to co-creation with the Holy Spirit. Through the lens of “midwifing” ideas and initiatives, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful path for those who feel stuck but sense there is more. If you’ve been carrying more than you were meant to carry, this may be the invitation your soul has been waiting for. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ Leslie's vocational journey and the role faith played.☀️ Vocation as a co-creative process with God and what it means to "move your feet".☀️ How to move out of survival mode and into a mode of creation!☀️ Resilient daily rhythms that include both lamenting and gratitude.☀️ "Strategy days" that encourage women to assess & reassess their faith, family, work, finances and fun! One of the Bible Verses that guides Leslie and gives her strength is this: "Be still and know that I am God." ~ Psalms 46:10 (NIV) Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 👉 https://youtu.be/hDV0KDdZNRI__________________________ Want to know more about our guest?🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-nunn-reed/ 🌟 And if this episode and channel blesses you, leave us a FIVE-STAR Review and DOWNLOAD the episodes you love.
