You can love the people in your life deeply—and still be tired.

Being needed does not miraculously make you less tired.

This lil heart-to-heart is for the mamas, daddies, spouses, caregivers, leaders, pastors, business owners, strong friends, and all the:

“Don't worry, I got it.”

people.

Because everybody knows they can call you… but who got YOU?

In this episode of Hear My Heart: Just a Lil Heart-to-Heart, Coach Tiffany Rochelle gets personal about something motherhood taught her while breastfeeding: in order to nourish her baby, she also had to nourish herself.

And baby… some of us are doing the same thing emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

All the LEE'S. 😭😂

We're talking about self-care that has nothing to do with spa days or spending money, why we've sometimes made exhaustion sound sanctified, and why rest isn't something you have to earn by completely depleting yourself first.

We're also going to Mark 6:31, where Jesus told His disciples to get away from the crowds and rest.

There were still people.

Still needs.

Still work to do.

And they still needed rest.

But we're balancing this thing too.

This isn't permission to create a life where nobody can inconvenience you. Love sometimes requires sacrifice.

The question is whether you've created a pattern where everybody gets cared for except you.

There's a difference between sacrifice and self-neglect.

And maybe stewardship isn't only about your money, gifts, opportunities, and ministry.

What about stewardship of YOU?

Your mind.
Your body.
Your time.
Your energy.
Your relationship with God.

You are one of the people God entrusted to your care.

💙 Heart Check:

Are the people I love getting the best of me—or what's left of me?

And what have I been expecting myself to function without?

Finish this sentence:

“This week, I'm pouring back into me by ______.”

Or simply say:

POUR INTO ME.

Because taking care of yourself isn't abandoning the people you love. Sometimes it's how you make sure they keep receiving a healthy version of you.

You are Heard. Healed. Here on purpose.

If You Feel It—HOLLA.

Grace and Peace. 💙
