When Being Capable Leads to Burnout with Anneliese Reeves
from Beyond Organised · host Mel Schenker
Send us Fan MailBeing the capable one can feel like a superpower, until you realise it has started running your life. We’re joined by Anneliese Reeves, a pastor, event manager, mum of five, and former chief operating officer, to talk about the hidden pressure many women carry when competence becomes identity and productivity turns into armour.Anneliese shares the story behind her forthcoming book Chaotic And Competent, shaped by years of raising kids, leading teams, and learning to laugh through the mess. Together we tease out a hard truth: what we call “being responsible” is sometimes control in a polished outfit. We explore how self-reliance can creep in, why your capacity doesn’t determine your calling, and what it looks like to surrender decisions, timelines, and outcomes to God without switching your brain off.We also get practical with faith-based organisation and time management that works in real life: priorities you can revisit, lists that serve you rather than shame you, saying no without guilt, and letting other people help without feeling like you’ve failed. Mel shares a discernment moment where the right questions revealed a job offer’s true cost, and we talk about choosing peace, family, and flexibility over quick fixes that lead to burnout.Website: https://www.anneliesereeves.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneliese.reeves/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anneliese.reeves.3/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anneliesereeves If you’re craving Christian productivity that’s rooted in abiding rather than striving, press play.
