Burned Out Trying to Do It All: How to Stop Being ‘Superwoman’ and Find Real Rest| E:121

In this episode of the HeyHannah Podcast, Dr. Mya Fields sits down with author and faith-based holistic wellness advocate Susan Wiesemann to talk about burnout, surrender, and the cost of trying to be “Superwoman.” Susan shares her powerful testimony of navigating a four-year healing journey after being diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune condition—one her cardiologist often sees in women who try to do it all.Together, they explore the pressures placed on Christian women, the danger of chronic stress, and how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and lack of boundaries can lead to emotional, physical, and spiritual burnout. Susan unpacks what holistic healing really looks like from a biblical perspective, the importance of trusting God’s timing, and how learning to say no can be an act of faith.This conversation is an encouragement for women who are running on empty and a reminder that God never asked us to carry everything alone. If you’re longing for rest, clarity, and freedom from the Superwoman mindset, this episode will meet you right where you are.TakeawaysThe belief that saying 'no' is wrong is ingrained in Christian women.Burnout often results from putting others before oneself.Insecurity drives the need to please others by saying 'yes'.Saying 'no' does not equate to being a bad Christian.Setting boundaries is essential for mental health.Self-care is not selfish; it's necessary.Women often feel pressured to be liked and accepted.Understanding one's worth is crucial to overcoming insecurity.Faith should not dictate self-neglect.Personal growth involves learning to say 'no'.KeywordsChristian women, burnout, saying no, self-care, insecurity, mental health, boundaries, self-worth, faith, personal growthConnect with Susan WiesemannSusan Wiesemann is an author, speaker, and faith-based holistic wellness advocate passionate about helping women release the “Superwoman” mindset and step into healing, rest, and God’s grace.Website / Ministry: Light of the LampLearn more about Susan’s testimony, speaking engagements, and ministry focused on holistic healing and spiritual renewal.Instagram: @light.ofthelampSusan shares encouragement, reflections on faith, boundaries, burnout, and identity in Christ.Speaking & Ministry Invitations:Available through her website for churches, women’s ministries, and organizations seeking faith-centered encouragement and healing.Book: Undoing Superwoman (by Susan Wiesemann)Susan’s book expands on her testimony and healing journey, offering biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for women struggling with burnout, perfectionism, and control.https://store.lightofthelamp.org/collections/frontpage
