About this listen

 In this episode of Pastors’ Wives Tell All, we sit down with Tara Sun to talk about what it really means to find balance, rest, and peace in the middle of ministry chaos. Drawing from her own experiences of burnout and healing, Tara shares her story of hitting a breaking point—mentally, physically, and emotionally—and how God led her into rhythms of true rest and dependence on Him.Through stories from her new book, Overbooked and Overwhelmed, Tara helps pastors’ wives and women in ministry redefine productivity, learn the power of saying no, and embrace the abundant life God offers—one marked by peace and intentionality instead of constant overcommitment. Together, they discuss the importance of community support, asking for help, and letting others carry the load during seasons of grief and exhaustion.This episode is a reminder that rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience. You’ll walk away with practical encouragement to slow down, reconnect with God in creative ways, and find joy in the simplicity of daily faithfulness.Takeaways:Burnout often comes from good intentions but misplaced priorities.True rest is found in connection with God, not just time off.Learning to say “no” can protect your peace and strengthen your ministry.Community and accountability are essential for lasting health.Redefining productivity allows space for God’s presence.It’s okay—and necessary—to ask for help and receive care.Simple daily rhythms can rekindle faith and joy.Connect with Tara:WebsiteInstagram: @misstarasunGet all the info about our next pastors’ wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors’ Wives Tell All podcast ministry?
