In this powerful episode of the Business as Mission podcast, Mike Baer sits down with Deidre Gestrin, founder of Abundant Wellness Essentials and author of Burnout to Balance. Deidre shares her deeply personal story of burnout from 15 years in mental health—and how God led her through physical collapse into a place of restoration and purpose.

They unpack how stress impacts your entire being—mind, body, and spirit—and why working from rest, not chaos, is God’s design. Deidre introduces her model of the 7 Dimensions of Wellness, centered on spirituality, and shares how simple practices like intentional breathing and community can radically change your health and mission.

Whether you're a business owner, missionary, or overwhelmed leader, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you take the first step toward balance.

🎧 Listen in and find out why your body, mind, and purpose were never meant to be separated.
