About this listen

Life doesn’t just burn us out at work, it burns us out when we keep trying to “fix” ourselves too.

In this Season 1 finale of Trusting Her Journey, Christalyn and Felicia talk about a kind of exhaustion few women name out loud: self-help burnout. The pressure to keep reading, journaling, watching, and healing can feel never-ending—and leave you just as drained as overworking.

Inside this conversation:

  • Why rest is more than naps, spa days, or vacations (and how to recognize when your soul is tired, not just your body).
  • The hidden pressure of constant self-improvement and why “working on yourself” can become another way to prove your worth.
  • The difference between consuming wisdom and actually integrating it into your life.
  • Practical tools for creating boundaries with yourself and practicing real rest.
  • How to see rest as obedience, worship, and a way to let God do what only He can do.

Fuel for the Road Ahead:
Before you add another book, podcast, or strategy, pause and ask: Where have I been trying to prove I’m okay instead of resting in the truth that I already am?

🎧 Listen now and take the pressure off proving you’re “enough.” You already are.
