Last week’s episode touched hearts and one listener asked me to go deeper. So today, we’re diving even further into what it really looks like to grow closer to God without adding more to your already full plate.

If you’re constantly doing at church, at work, for your family but still feel disconnected from God, this episode is for you.

I talk about:

• The difference between high-achieving and overachieving

• Why stillness is more powerful than performance

• The story of Mary & Martha (and who you’re really being right now)

• What it means to bleed out to God not social media

• How to start deepening your connection with God today, without burnout

And I end with a prayer to help you surrender, breathe, and just be.

🔁 Share this episode with another woman who’s always doing but needs the reminder to rest and reconnect.

Let’s stop chasing noise and start choosing presence.

Have you ever felt like you’re chasing after God, trying to do more—pray more, read more, journal more—just to feel close to Him? What if I told you that you don’t have to do more, but simply be more?

In this episode of Ladies After Wisdom, we’re diving into how to deepen your relationship with God and yourself—without adding more to your already full plate. I’ll share a powerful conversation I had with my son that completely shifted the way I see God, and we’ll talk about:

✨ Why high-achieving women struggle to feel close to God ✨ The truth about being in His presence vs. doing for Him✨ How to recognize God in your daily life—even in the chaos ✨ The connection between your relationship with God and how you treat yourself ✨ Practical ways to experience God more deeply without overwhelm

📖 James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” But drawing near isn’t about striving—it’s about acknowledging that He’s already near.

If you’ve been feeling distant from God or just need a reminder that you are already enough, this episode is for you.

Mama, if your calendar is packed but your peace is missing… this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m pulling back the curtain on something we rarely talk about: why high-achieving women keep trying to “fix” their time with prettier planners—while quietly running on empty.

We’re digging into:

• Why busyness can feel like a badge of honor

• The lie behind “there’s not enough time in the day”

• What the real first step of time management is (hint: it’s not another app)

• How slowing down will feel at first—and why you’ll want to speed back up

This episode won’t just nudge you to take a breath… it’ll help you build a new rhythm that works with your life—not against it.
