Is Being Busy Destroying Your Well-being...

JORDAN LEE DOOLEY
About this episode

In this heartfelt conversation, Jordan Lee Dooley sits down with her friend Tara Sun to talk about the deeper cost of always doing “one more thing.” Drawing from Tara’s new book, Overbooked and Overwhelmed, they explore the subtle signs of burnout, the physical toll of stress, and the invitation to slow down and reorder life with God at the center.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The moment Tara realized her packed schedule was actually a spiritual red flag
  • Why Christians often overlook emotional and physical health in the name of “soul care”
  • How hustle culture masks itself as faithfulness or obedience
  • What holistic, sustainable wellness really looks like for Christian women
  • How to tell the difference between a full plate and an overwhelmed spirit
  • Simple rhythms that help restore presence, peace, and purpose
