How Cognitive Overload Blocks Your Spiritual Sensitivity


Listen Later

In this powerful kickoff to the Internal Harmony Series, Tatum invites high-achieving Christian women into a much-needed conversation about the hidden chaos beneath our productivity: cognitive overload. As a mom of three, business owner, and soon-to-be law student, Tatum shares vulnerably about the transition she's navigating and how God is leading her into a new understanding of internal harmony over external balance. This episode breaks down the psychological and spiritual toll of cognitive overload—what happens when our prefrontal cortex is overstimulated, and we lose our ability to hear the voice of God clearly, regulate our emotions, or even recognize how we feel.

Tatum introduces the concept of internal vs. external harmony, showing that while routines and logistics matter, true peace comes from spiritual alignment, emotional presence, and abiding in Christ. She offers biblically-rooted, science-backed tools to help you slow down, re-engage your senses, and practice stillness so you can reconnect with God and yourself.

Whether you're a woman juggling multiple roles or simply longing for more peace and clarity, this episode offers a holistic path forward. Expect to walk away with practical steps—like mindful breathing, meditating on scripture, nature walks, grounding exercises, sleep routines, journaling prompts, and fasting from information overload—to combat mental fatigue and restore harmony from the inside out.

Plus, Tatum opens up about meditating on Galatians 2:20 and why high-performing women often turn to productivity over presence. Don’t miss this deep, transparent, and transformational conversation on the path to peace through God’s presence.
