Do you ever feel like you’re constantly doing all the right things—but still end up exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure if you’re living in God’s will? In Part 3 of the Life of Striving series, Brittany unpacks how to find freedom from over-functioning and pressure by building a life of peace, order, and alignment.

In this final episode of the series, you’ll learn how to pause before saying “yes,” create structure and rhythms that protect your peace, and get creative about living the life God is calling you to—without burning out. You’ll discover how to know if your current season is one of stretching or striving, how to include your leaders and spouse in big decisions, and how to build relationships that fuel your calling instead of draining it.

Are you running so hard that life feels like it’s about to swallow you whole? In Part 2 of our “Life of Striving”, we dive deeper into how to recognize striving and instead walk in God’s peace and purpose. This episode explores how to identify your true values, set healthy boundaries, and create life-giving rhythms that protect your relationship with God, your marriage, your family, and yourself.

Striving is sneaky—it disguises itself as good intentions, productivity, or even ministry. But left unchecked, it leaves us fragmented, exhausted, and far from God’s design. In this conversation, you’ll learn how to shift from over-functioning to peace, discover what “winning” looks like in your current season, and put rhythms in place that help you flourish holistically—body, mind, and spirit.

Whether you’re in a season of expansion or just trying to keep your head above water, these principles will help you pause, realign, and live with clarity and purpose.

love,

Brittany

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning? Your schedule is packed, your responsibilities are overwhelming, and even the smallest setback feels like it could tip everything over. You’re living in the very life you once prayed for—kids, ministry, work, marriage—but now you’re left wondering: Is this too much? Is this sustainable? Am I living the way God really wants me to?

In today’s episode, we dive into these questions head-on. Together, we’ll talk about the difference between pressure and stress, how to discern whether you’re in a temporary season of expansion or living in a constant state of striving, and practical ways to step back, assess, and realign your life with God’s vision for wholeness.

This isn’t just about managing your calendar—it’s about choosing wholeness over fragmentation, peace over chaos, and learning how to breathe again.

Do you ever catch yourself believing your child’s behavior or performance is a direct reflection of you as a mom? Maybe you compare how quickly they’re learning to read or how many words they’re saying with the kids around them. Or maybe, when they act out, you feel like you’ve failed—and the yelling, controlling, and striving begins.

Striving in motherhood is sneaky. It shows up in the way we compare, the way we push, and the way we try to control our kids—often because we’re carrying pressure that God never asked us to carry.

In this episode, I walk you through how striving sneaks into motherhood, the damage it causes, and most importantly, how to step into peace, freedom, and trust in God as you raise your kids.
