Episode #199 - What’s Your Operating System?

from The Vibrant Living Podcast · host Donna Tashjian

Most people assume the exhaustion they feel is just part of leadership, responsibility, or success. But what if it isn’t? In this episode, I invite you into a quiet, discerning conversation about the operating system you’re actually living from. Not the one you believe in theory, but the one that shows up when pressure hits, decisions pile up, and rest always feels postponed. I share a personal moment when I recognized my own hidden operating system, shaped in rooms where I felt I had to earn my seat, and the biblical insight that reframed everything. Drawing from Exodus 17, I unpack why Moses wasn’t performing for God, he was positioning himself under the right authority, and how that distinction changes the way we lead, decide, and live. This episode is for those who are faithful, capable, and still quietly tired. For those who sense God has more, but feel like something underneath the surface is misaligned. You don’t need more strategy. You don’t need to try harder. You may simply need to upgrade what’s running underneath it all.In This Episode, We ExploreWhy many people are running on an operating system they never consciously choseThe three common operating systems that quietly drive exhaustionWhy vision, faith, and strategy alone don’t produce restWhat Moses’ raised staff reveals about alignment versus performanceHow alignment shifts can happen while life is still movingUpcoming Experiential GatheringDoes Success Have to Be Hard?March 10 at 7 PM EasternThis is a complimentary, experiential gathering where we explore what operating system you’ve been leading from and what changes when alignment replaces effort. This is not a training or a webinar, it’s a space to discern, reflect, and realign.🔗 Register here Talk This Through?If this episode stirred something and you’d like personal discernment around what operating system you’re currently running on, you can schedule a Wisdom Consultation.🔗 Book a Wisdom CallLet's Connect:🌐 https://www.ivibrantliving.com/📱 https://www.instagram.com/drtashjian/💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/donnatashjian/
