After being away for almost a year, I’m finally sharing why I disappeared… and what God was doing in the quiet. This episode dives into overcoming burnout, the challenges of obedience, and experiencing God’s pruning and healing.
What felt like disruption, exhaustion, and everything falling apart became a deeply intentional season of rest, pruning, and spiritual renewal. I talk honestly about the struggle of obedience, stepping away from constant doing, and learning to truly rest in God’s grace.
This conversation explores burnout hidden behind service and ambition, the kind that looks fine on the outside but leaves you exhausted inside. I share how God’s mercy uses disruption to bring us back to Him, and how surrendering timelines and detaching worth from productivity leads to healing.
If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, spiritually fatigued, confused by a season where everything seems to have paused, this episode is for you.
Welcome back to Unravelled. I’m really glad you’re here.
Lots of Love, Jas 🌸

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. -John 15:2
AMPC Says “He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.”

- Matthew 11:28 AMPC
““Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO TAKE A REAL REST. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.””
-Matthew 11:28-30 MSG
