Summary
In today’s episode, Jess is joined by licensed counselor, author, and speaker Debra Fileta to explore the transformative message behind her newest book, Soul Care. Together, they dive into what it truly means to live full instead of empty in a world that often glorifies hustle and burnout.
Jess and Debra have a heartfelt conversation about burnout, boundaries, and the importance of creating intentional rhythms of rest and renewal, especially for leaders, caretakers, and those pouring into others.
Whether you're in ministry, leadership, or simply navigating a full life, this conversation will encourage and equip you to pursue health that lasts from the inside out.
Let’s Go.
