EPISODE 23

Do you feel stuck in survival mode — spiritually drained, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to build habits that actually last into the New Year? Many Christian women enter January wanting change but already feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or hesitant to start again.

In this episode of Godly Habits, Brooklynn and Dr. Mason Howe redefine wellness through a biblical, whole-person lens — helping you move away from hustle, pressure, and shame, and toward sustainable habits rooted in grace.

You’ll learn how to approach New Year habits without becoming a “new you,” how holistic wellness supports your body, mind, spirit, and relationships, and how to build habits that fit your real life — not an ideal version of yourself.

This conversation offers clarity, peace, and encouragement for Christian women who want growth without burnout, and faith-aligned habits that heal over time.

⏱️ What You’ll Hear

• Why “New Year, New You” pressure often leads to burnout instead of lasting change
• A biblical, whole-person definition of wellness that brings clarity and peace
• How habits built from love — not hustle or shame — are more sustainable
• Why physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health are deeply connected
• Medical and real-life insight on why narrow views of health leave many women stuck

Quick Win Practice: The Holistic Habit Stack

In this episode, we introduce a simple way to build habits without starting from scratch: intentionally adding meaning to a habit you already have.

Instead of piling on more discipline, this practice helps you support multiple areas of wellness — physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual — using rhythms that already exist in your life.

The result is less pressure, more sustainability, and habits that actually fit your current season.

If you’ve been feeling the weight of loss, grief, or control this holiday season — or if joy feels harder to find — this short episode will help you breathe again. Together, we’re exploring one cozy Christian habit that brings renewed joy and deeper trust in God’s care: gratitude.

Dr. Mason shares a gentle holiday check-in about staying grounded through change, while Brooklynn offers a faith-filled reflection on how gratitude softens grief, loosens control, and restores peace in the middle of life’s noise.

This is your invitation to slow down, release the pressure to do it all, and rediscover the quiet joy that comes from noticing God’s goodness — right where you are.

What You’ll Hear

• How gratitude renews joy and strengthens trust in God
• Why letting go of control leads to peace, not perfection
• A gentle reflection for those navigating loss or grief this season
• Practical ways to pause, notice, and rest in God’s presence

Quick-Win Practice

Sometime this week — maybe while wrapping gifts or sipping coffee — pause for a moment of gratitude.

Name three simple things God has given you today: breath, warmth, a kind word, a small joy. Let your awareness of His presence renew joy and build trust that He’s still providing, even when life feels uncertain.

EPISODE 21

Peace becomes possible when we set down what isn’t ours to carry — and turn our gaze from the urgent and noisy back to Jesus, one moment at a time.

In this devotional-style episode for Christian women navigating holiday stress, we turn to Exodus 18 to see how Moses handled burnout, overwhelm, and carrying more than God asked him to. We explore how to calm the holiday chaos, reduce stress, create healthy boundaries,
outsource wisely, and return to a rhythm of peace and presence. If you’re longing for a holiday that feels grounded, purposeful, and centered on what matters most, this gentle teaching will help
you release what God never asked you to carry.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode
• How Moses’ burnout in Exodus 18 mirrors the emotional load women carry during the holidays
• Why wise boundaries and shared responsibilities are biblical, not selfish
• How to reduce stress by saying no, doing less, and protecting what matters
• How outsourcing (Jethro-style) brings peace, not guilt
• A tender real-life story of a simplified Christmas that brought deeper joy
• How shifting your approach can bless your whole family

Reflection (Quick Win)
This episode ends with a guided moment to help you pause before you step into the holiday season.

It’s designed to give you:
• Clarity on what truly matters to you this year
• Courage to say no to what drains your peace
• A sense of permission to do less without guilt
