Burnout doesn’t always look like laziness or apathy—especially for Christian single moms. It often looks like striving, over-functioning, and emotional overwhelm. In this episode, Idina shares how burnout can be a divine pause rather than a punishment. We journey through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19:10-15 to uncover what happens when obedience leads to weariness, and why the cave Elijah hid in was not his end—but his reset.

Through her own story of leaving Corporate America, falling into survival mode, and desperately trying to hear God again, Idina vulnerably walks you through how the Lord used journaling, scripture, and stillness to uncover the real issue: she didn’t trust God as Provider.

This episode offers not only encouragement but a prophetic coaching framework to help you hear God clearly again, restore your peace, and recognize the voice of God—even in burnout.

What if the biggest battle in building your next season isn’t the obstacles around you—but the way you see yourself?

In this episode of the Identity Series, we dive into how your perspective shapes your leadership, your business, and your future. I’ll share prophetic insight about the month of Tammuz, the biblical season where vision is tested, and how this applies to Kingdom entrepreneurs today. I share my personal journey of breaking free from limited vision and aligning my business with God’s purpose through the prophetic significance of the Hebrew month of Tammuz.

Until your vision aligns with what God says about you, you’ll build from fear instead of faith. But when you allow God to clear your sight, what you build becomes stable, Kingdom-aligned, and full of provision.

📖 Key Scriptures:

Numbers 13:1–33 – The 12 spies and the battle of perspective in the Promised Land.

Habakkuk 2:1–3 – “Look to see what He will say” and write the vision.

✨ In This Episode, You'll Learn:

Why the way you see yourself affects what you build.

The prophetic meaning of the month of Tammuz and how it influences vision clarity.

How fear distorts your business decisions, and how faith aligns your leadership.

Why identity must be the foundation before you launch, build, or lead.

How to shift from comparison and confusion to clarity and calling.

💼 Kingdom Business Insight:

Your business reflects your internal vision.

If you see yourself through insecurity, you’ll build from striving.

If you see yourself through Kingdom identity, you’ll build from peace and purpose.

This month is a divine invitation to correct your sight and align your business with what Heaven sees.

🛠️ Practical Action Steps:

Pray: Ask God, “How am I seeing myself—and is it aligned with what You say about me?”

Write the Vision: Don’t wait until it’s perfect—start now.

Guard Your Sight: Step away from comparison this week and stay focused on your lane.

🙏 Declarations:

I see myself the way God sees me.

I build by faith, not by fear.

I write the vision, and I trust God with the results.

What if your voice was never meant to be perfect—but *prophetic*?

In this episode, I pause and reflect on what I didn’t see when I launched this podcast. It wasn’t bad—it just wasn’t **built from the place God was trying to form in me**. Episodes 1–4 were powerful, but they were also the behind-the-scenes of a daughter learning how to listen.

> I wasn’t just building a business—I was being built by God.

Inside this short but important shift, we’ll talk about:

* Why your voice matters more when it’s aligned than when it’s polished

* How God slows you down so He can root you deeply

* Why identity *must* come before strategy

* What this new Identity Series is really about

Whether you’re just starting or suddenly unsure… pause with me. Let’s reset—together.

I pray this blesses you...

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

* God often births the assignment *while* He’s still healing the messenger.

* Obedience might mean shifting your public voice when your private walk deepens.

* The foundational episodes (1–5) weren’t a mistake—they were a map.

* From here on out, it’s about building from identity—not exhaustion.

What if the panic you’re feeling isn’t about the task at all—but about your identity?

In today’s episode, I share a raw moment when a simple Canva upload triggered a physical reaction—tight throat, tense shoulders, racing thoughts. But the Holy Spirit revealed: “This isn’t about design. This is about *identity.*”

We’re breaking down: * The hidden root of perfectionism * How your body can signal spiritual misalignment * Why control isn’t your covering—God is * And what to do when fear starts masquerading as productivity

You don’t have to earn your worth, sis. You just have to receive it. Let’s talk about perfectionism, peace, and how to finally walk free.

✅ Here are 6 Spirit-Led Action Steps:

1. **Pause the Panic:** Step away and breathe. 2. **Name the Spirit:** “This is perfectionism, and I reject it.” 3. **Journal What You Feel:** Release the tension on paper. Journal all the feelings and emotions that triggered, and carry it to the Lord in prayer. 4. **Surrender the Outcome:** “Lord, I give this back to You.” Ask the Holy Spirit, to give you 1-2 scriptures to repeat 🔂 until you recognize the shift. 5. **Declare the Truth:** “I have the mind of Christ.” 6. **Anchor in Scripture:** Say God’s word out loud—over and over. Until there's a shift in your body, and throughout your atmosphere.

Ever feel like your mornings are working against you instead of setting you up for peace? In this episode, I share exactly how I build my mornings with God—one that actually fits the realities of single motherhood, spiritual burnout recovery, and Kingdom purpose. I walk you through the four areas I focus on each morning: healing my mind and body, remembering who I am in Christ, building faith before the world speaks, and opening my heart to receive God’s daily provision. This isn’t another “perfect” morning checklist—it’s a rhythm of real devotion that gives me clarity, energy, and peace to face the day. If you’ve been craving a reset that actually works with your season, this one’s for you.

🩹 Healing: Resetting my mind and body before the world can.

👑 Identity: Reminding myself who I am in Christ before the enemy has a chance to whisper otherwise.

📖 Faith: Letting Scripture speak first, not social media.

💧 Provision: Opening my heart to receive from God before I pour out to others.

✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • Why your routine isn’t about performance—it’s about posture. • How I rebuilt my mornings from burnout and guilt to grace and rhythm. • A simple 4-step practice to invite the Holy Spirit into your morning—even when you’re tired.

My mornings were chaos—scrolling, striving, and surviving. I loved God, but I didn’t know how to walk with Him from the very first moment of my day.

In this raw and practical episode, I share:

• Why obedience starts before your to-do list

• How to stop micromanaging the morning

• The one shift that changed everything for my mental and spiritual peace

📌 This is Episode 3 in the Rooted to Rise Series—showing how God rebuilds our rhythm before He refines our calling.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: - The scripture that completely changed my perspective: Mark 1:35 - How I was merely surviving rather than truly embracing life - My pivotal moment following grief, loss, and a period of silence - How God started to reconstruct my identity—and my daily routine - Why you don’t have to endure burnout for another day

Reflect on this question: 1. Have I been beginning my days without checking in with God—or even with myself?

You’re not crazy. You’re not lazy. You’re exhausted because you’ve been building from a place God never asked you to. This episode is the beginning of the unlearning—where I show you what burnout taught me about identity, misalignment, and false pressure.

In this foundational message, I unpack:

• What burnout actually reveals in your heart

• How survival-mode Christianity is not sustainable

• Why obedience is a better builder than perfection

📌 This is Episode 2 of the Rooted to Rise Series—where I expose the invisible misalignments that happen before we truly walk in identity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 🔹 Why spiritual burnout in Christian motherhood can’t be solved by doing more 🔹 How embracing your true identity breaks the cycle of performance and fear 🔹 The real reason you feel stuck—and how to find freedom 🔹 Four Spirit-led pillars that lead to lasting peace 🔹 Simple, obedience-based steps to help you hear God’s voice again

Next Steps for You: 1. Sit quietly for 5–10 minutes and ask, “God, what am I carrying that You never gave me?” 2. Declare: “I am chosen—even in burnout.” 3. Journal moments this week where God provided peace, rest, or clarity. 4. Trust your discernment—remember John 10:27: His sheep hear His voice.
