Christian Burnout & Anxiety | Why You’re Too Tired to Take Care of Yourself (E7)

from Christian Mental Health for Women | The Pert Plan™ · host Pam Litchford, LPC

You’re not too busy for self-care — you’re likely too depleted to think clearly about it.In this episode, we untangle the guilt and confusion surrounding self-care in Christian women and explore the difference between indulgence and stewardship.If you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion, this conversation will help you rethink what real wellness looks like — not as luxury, but as responsibility.Through biblical wisdom, brain science, and a very honest story (yes… including a bikini wax gone wrong), we talk about why so many faithful women are simply too tired to care for themselves — and how tending your body, mind, and spirit allows you to serve God from stability instead of survival.Self-care isn’t selfish.It’s stewardship.This episode is part of The Pert Plan™, a Christian mental health podcast  grounded in biblical truth and evidence-based wisdom to help you challenge lies, renew your mind, and grow courageous faith.Follow on Instagram @thepertplanLegal Disclaimer - This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for mental health treatment or therapy.
