Pretty Fruitful Conversations

Not Busy, Just Unsettled | Distracted to Devoted – Segment 1


Listen Later

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."


📝 Journal Prompt:

What's one distraction you've been using to avoid a deeper need?


✨ This is a safe space for grace, reflection, and progress—not perfection.


If this speaks to you, follow the show, rate, and share it with a friend who might be feeling the same. 💛
