You said yes to God’s call. You surrendered your plans. You’re doing your best to build the vision He gave you. So why does it feel like it’s killing you?

The long nights. The constant second-guessing. The nagging fear that maybe you weren’t cut out for this after all. You’re pouring out in obedience, but inside? You’re dry. Exhausted. And secretly wondering: “What if this assignment takes me out before I even see the fruit?”

Sis, I hear you. And more importantly—God sees you.

Here’s the truth: This isn’t about your faith not being strong enough or your capacity being too small. You didn’t mishear God. And you’re not failing.

You’re just carrying your calling the wrong way. 😳

In this episode, I’m exposing 5 hidden reasons why your purpose feels like it’s breaking you instead of building you—and I’m showing you how to flip the script so you can walk boldly, fully alive, and free in the assignment God placed on your life.

Listen in as we talk about:
✅ The 5 “killer” mindsets that make your purpose feel like a burden instead of a blessing.

✅ How self-doubt and striving are wearing you out—and the Spirit-led antidote that brings peace and power.

✅ Why your words about your calling may be planting seeds of burnout (see Proverbs 18:21).

✅ The one shift that will help you move from hustle and heaviness to holy hard work that feels life-giving.

✅ The biblical blueprint for walking in your purpose with clarity, confidence, and Kingdom impact.

Are you ready to stop striving and start building WITH God? Sis, this isn’t “too much” for you. You’re not too late. And you are absolutely not disqualified.

If you know it’s time to break the cycle of overwork, self-criticism, and spiritual exhaustion—and embrace a way of walking in your purpose that feels like abundant life, not burnout, then I want you to – Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!
