28 | From Striving to Abiding: Choosing the Garden Paradigm

What if the exhaustion you’ve been feeling isn’t a personal failure, but the natural result of living in the wrong paradigm?  The truth is, the industrial paradigm we’ve inherited has shaped us to treat ourselves like machines. But that’s not the way of Jesus. In this episode, Anna unpacks the shift from the industrial paradigm of hustle and output to the garden paradigm of rest, rhythms, and abiding in God—a way of leading and living that brings lasting fruit. Anna invites you to explore the garden paradigm—a way of being rooted in trust, rest, and presence. You’ll discover: 🌱 The difference between the industrial paradigm and the garden paradigm—and the costs of living in each 🌱 How abiding in God, rather than striving, leads to sustainable growth and deeper impact 🌱 The principles of agile, embodied learning that reframe how we lead and grow 🌱 Simple practices for grounding yourself in presence and daily abiding 🌱 Why success in the garden paradigm looks like sustainability, stewardship, and faithfulness, not just outputs This episode offers both relief and a roadmap for leaders longing for a more integrated, life-giving way to grow. If this conversation gave you a sigh of relief and stirred a desire to abide more deeply, share it with a friend who’s weary of the hustle. If your business or organization is at a pivotal growth point—and you’re craving strategic clarity, structure, or leadership support to scale your mission sustainably— 👉 Learn about Strategic Mapping™Not sure what you need, but want to connect and begin the conversation?
