Description

Today’s question: “I love people, but I’m exhausted. Does stepping back mean I’ve stopped caring?”

In this summer instalment of Journey With Care’s “Messy Advice” series, your messy adviser, Johan, dives into that familiar tension of wanting to support others without sacrificing your own rest. This conversation playfully unpacks the difference between deep care and constant availability, drawing inspiration from one of Jesus’s quietest habits. Whether you fantasize about going off-grid or just long for one uninterrupted evening, you’ll find camaraderie, fresh perspective, and a few laughs that give you full permission to pause—without guilt. Pull up a chair (or hammock!) and enjoy this refreshingly honest take on boundaries, burnout, and why loving well sometimes means loving yourself, too.
