Why Doing Good Can Leave Christian Working Moms Drained (and How to Serve Without Burning Out)

Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—serving your family, showing up at work, helping at church—but deep down, you’re completely exhausted? You’re pouring out for everyone else, yet somehow your soul still feels empty.

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when doing good leaves you drained, why that doesn’t mean you’re failing, and how to serve from God’s strength instead of your own. We’ll explore:

• Why burnout often comes from doing too many good things without rest

• How Jesus and Mary & Martha show us the importance of presence over busyness

• Practical ways to pause, set boundaries, and refill your soul

• How to rediscover joy and peace in the middle of your calling

If you’ve been feeling weary from all the doing, this episode is your gentle reminder that faithfulness doesn’t mean constant motion—it means walking closely with the One who gives you rest.
