In a culture that glorifies busyness, productivity, and constant output, many Chrisian women find themselves exhausted- even while doing "good ande meaningful work."

In this episode Brandy Dawson sits down with Erin Harrigan to unpack the deeper tension behind hustle culture while exploring the pressures women face to do more and be more, and how to find true success and peace through surrendering to God's guidance. They discuss the importance of abiding in Christ, redefining success with Him, and living intentionally in everyday life. And, it just may look different than how you expected. We are created with ambition, but not for chaos. Because God never asked us to prove our worth through exhaustion.
