An Overdrive Kind of Life (How to Shift into a Better Pace of Life)

Is your life over-scheduled, overworked, overtired? What is driving that and more importantly, what does it take to shift into a different gear? In this episode of the Work Within, Dieula, Paul, and John discuss the aspects of our life in motion. Are we just hustling or are we living in chronic overdrive? They dive deep into the aspects of what causes an overdriven life, if we are running our lives or if our lives are running us, and how to tell if this is just a season or an unsustainable standard. You’ll gain fresh insight to help you discover a more sustainable pace for your life.HOSTSJohn Lin: Director of Partnerships, Watershed Initiative & Executive Director, Sweet Deeds FoundationDieula Previlon, LPC-S: Founder of ElevateHer International Ministries, Licensed Professional Counselor and Ordained MinisterPaul McMullen, LPC-Associate: Founder of WellSpring Process Groups, Licensed Professional Counselor-AssociateTHERAPY DISCOUNTMention "The Work Within" to receive 10% discount off the first 5 sessions of therapy.
