💡 Description: Feeling the holiday hustle creeping in? Discover how to transform seasonal stress into a signal for clarity and peace. Join Rev. Juliet as she guides you from the chaos of overwhelm to the serenity of spiritual anchoring and emotional clarity.

Today’s episode invites you to rethink overwhelm—not as a sign that you’re failing, but as a signal that something in your life needs clarity, protection, or simplification. Rev. Juliet unpacks why even strong, capable Christian leaders find themselves weighed down, and how God meets us right in the middle of that heaviness. She speaks of her own December wake-up call. Trying to do “all the things,” she realized Christ was inviting her to experience the joy and sacredness of the holidays in a healthier way.

This episode shares some of what she’s learned since that important night. Through a high-performance lens and a faith-centered heart, you’ll learn how overwhelm becomes an opportunity for spiritual anchoring, emotional regulation, and deeper clarity about what matters most. This episode offers a gentle but empowering pathway back to presence, peace, and purpose.

🙌 What You’ll Learn

• Why overwhelm is a signal not a measure of your worth

• The four root causes of overwhelm through Brendon Burchard’s high-performance framework:

• How Jesus speaks peace into the very places where your heart feels stretched thin

• How to recognize the early signals of overwhelm before burnout hits

• Practical, faith-based shifts to help you return to groundedness and clarity

🕊️ Key Scriptures
John 14:27 — “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” A reminder that the peace Jesus offers is not circumstantial — it’s sustaining, steady, and available in the very moments we feel overextended.

Matthew 11:28–30 — “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest… for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” A compassionate invitation to lay down the heaviness you were never meant to carry alone.

💬 Key Takeaways

• Overwhelm signals misalignment, not inadequacy.

• Jesus offers peace that stabilizes us when life feels too heavy.

• High performers don’t push through overwhelm — they listen to it.

• Protecting your mental, emotional, and spiritual boundaries is an act of faithful stewardship.

• Returning to presence often begins with one simple step: coming back to God.
