Do you ever feel like you're functioning on the outside, but falling apart inside?

In this episode of Pretty Fruitful Conversations, we begin the Distracted to Devoted series with a heartfelt reflection on what it means to feel overwhelmed, mentally scattered, and spiritually disconnected—yet still appear "fine."

I share what distraction has looked like in my life: scrolling, binge-watching, busy work and how those habits often mask deeper emotional or spiritual needs. We discuss burnout, emotional avoidance, and the inner resistance that can manifest even in our devotional life.

💬 In this episode:

• Signs your soul is unsettled
• How burnout leads to avoidance and distraction
• The cycle of "busy work" as a coping mechanism
• The gentle nudges God uses to draw us back
• Simple, honest prayers to reconnect with God
• Reflection questions to help you uncover the root of your distractions

📖 Key Scripture:

Psalm 46:10 – "Be still and know that I am God."
