You know that feeling when you’re trying to avoid burnout, but the very thought of “managing stress” feels like one more thing on your already maxed-out to-do list?

Yeah—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise and getting real about what it actually takes to prevent burnout (without turning rest into another project).

You’ll learn five evidence-based, nervous-system-backed habits that help you move through stress, restore your energy, and protect your peace—without overhauling your entire life.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Why burnout isn’t just about working too much—it’s about living out of rhythm with how your nervous system was designed to function
✔️ Five simple, science-backed behaviors that regulate your body and mind (no, you don’t need a morning routine that takes three hours)
✔️ How to recognize the signs your body is nearing burnout—and interrupt the cycle before it crashes you

💡 If you’ve been stuck in go-mode, this episode will help you slow down, regulate, and rebuild rhythms that let you lead and live from calm, not chaos.

Ever feel like anxiety just comes out of nowhere?

Your mind starts racing, your body tenses, and suddenly you’re either spiraling into overthinking or completely shutting down.

That feeling isn’t random—it’s your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect you.

But when your body stays stuck in that loop, it’s exhausting.

In this episode, we’re breaking down three science-backed tools to help your nervous system settle in real time so you can shift from anxious and reactive to calm and grounded.

You’ll learn:

• ✔️ Why anxiety isn’t “all in your head” — and what’s actually happening in your body when it hits
• ✔️ Three simple, research-backed tools to calm your system fast (no apps or hours of meditation required)
• ✔️ How body-based practices like pressure, breath, and shaking help your brain register safety
• ✔️ How to integrate these tools into your daily rhythms and faith practice.

💡 Anxiety loses its grip when your body learns it’s safe.

These tools will help you get there—one breath, one shake, one moment of grounding at a time.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I stay and dig deeper—or is it time to go?” you’re not alone.

In a world that glamorizes fresh starts, we can miss the quiet miracles of rootedness.

But staying (with discernment) can be where real growth, depth, and peace are forged.

In this episode, I’m joined by Rev. Lydia Sohn—Korean American minister, writer, and author—whose work explores what it means to build a life of depth in an age of endless options.

Drawing from her immigrant story, pastoral work, and spiritual practices, Lydia shares how to discern when to plant, when to prune, and when a faithful “leaving” is actually a coming home.

We’re diving into:
✔️ The “soil test”: a simple framework to discern if your environment supports flourishing—or if it’s depleting you
✔️ A daily practice (Ignatian Examen) to spot God’s movement in “same old, same old” days—and why that changes everything
✔️ How to tell the difference between an impulsive escape and a peace-filled, Spirit-led transition
✔️ Practical rhythms to cultivate rich “soil” in marriage, work, friendship, and place

If you’re sitting in the tension—restless, discerning, and craving clarity—this conversation will give you grounded, grace-filled tools to listen for God, honor your season, and choose well.

🎧 Press play to learn how to practice the spirituality of staying—and how to leave, when it’s time, with peace and purpose.
