Winning Women Podcast

I Prayed for This… Now I’m Overwhelmed


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the real-life moments when blessings feel like burdens. From biblical insight to personal stories—including an unexpected pregnancy and stepping away from a career—you’ll hear how God shows up in the very places that stretch us.

We talk about the cultural lies that cloud our view of blessing and practical ways to shift your perspective when life doesn’t feel like the gift you thought it would be.

This episode is for the mom, the wife, the single woman, the caregiver, the dreamer—and every woman in between who’s carrying something she once celebrated, now wondering if she can hold on.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Everyday burdens that may be blessings in disguise (jobs, marriage, singleness, caregiving, etc.)
  • Five reasons blessings can feel like burdens
  • Real-life perspective shifts: “I have to” → “I get to,” and more
  • A prayer for women feeling weary, hidden, or stretched in their current season
