Hey friend, welcome to Girls Night, where we work through life's biggest decisions and transitions together.

I'm your host, Stephanie May Wilson, and I am so glad you're here. Let's get started.

So I'm so excited about today's episode because today we're talking about how to stop running on

empty and how to prioritize your emotional, spiritual, and

physical needs. Now if you're anything like me you are trying your best to do

it all and to be the person that everybody needs you to be,

even if it comes to the expense of your own health or well-being.

Now, we all, you know, in theory, know that this isn't a sustainable way of living

and that it will eventually lead to things like stress and total burnout,

but taking a step back is so much easier said than done,

especially because taking care of ourselves often feels selfish.

Well, that's why I invited today's guest Deborah Folletta back on the show to help us out.

Deborah is a licensed professional counselor, a podcaster, a speaker, and an

author who specializes in dating, marriage, and relationship issues along with mental and emotional

health. She recently released a book called Soul Care,

where she teaches us six practices

that Jesus implemented in his own life and ministry

and how we can apply these same practices to our lives. Two of my favorite practices that she explains in the episode were Protect and Saver.

More about that soon.

You ready?

Let's hop into my conversation with Deborah. Friends, let's talk about something we can all struggle with from time to time.

Finding time to sit down and read the Bible.
