Ep. 78 | Trusting God After Burnout—Can You Rebuild Trust When You Feel Abandoned?

What happens when your body breaks down… and your faith quietly follows? In this deeply honest New Year’s episode, Cassie shares her personal story of burnout, postpartum depletion, PMDD-like symptoms, and the spiritual fallout that followed—when trusting God no longer felt possible. If you’ve ever loved Jesus but felt angry, distant, numb, or abandoned by Him in the middle of chronic stress, exhaustion, or illness, this conversation is for you. We talk about how prolonged stress and mineral depletion impact the nervous system, hormones, and emotional regulation—and how that physical depletion can make faith feel fragile, muted, or even inaccessible. Cassie also unpacks why “just trusting God more” isn’t always possible when your body no longer has the resources to regulate itself. Using Psalm 88 as a guide, this episode creates sacred space for unresolved grief, unfinished faith, and honest prayer that doesn’t wrap itself up with a bow. You’ll learn why God doesn’t require emotional closure, why trust doesn’t always return in the same form, and how faith can mature without becoming cold or religious. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why burnout can deeply affect your ability to trust God How mineral depletion and nervous system dysregulation impact emotions, faith, and perception The difference between intimacy and relationship with God Why Psalm 88 matters when your prayers end in darkness How to stop forcing trust that isn’t there A gentler way to rebuild faith through consent, not confidence What small, nervous-system-safe steps toward God can look like in hard seasons If you’re entering a new year feeling weary, guarded, or unsure how to trust God again—this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not failing. And you’re not alone.
