Key Takeaways

When God feels “quiet,” first lower the noise: reduce information overload, step back from social feeds, and create space to hear His still, small voice. Watch for personal “warning lights” (anxiety, irritability, impatience) that signal it’s time to unplug and recentre.
Sometimes silence is intentional—a season to apply what He already taught you. Keep communing with God, act in obedience, and recognize His hand even when He isn’t verbose.
Discerning a Spirit-led pivot:
Scripture check—God will not contradict His Word.
History with God—does this align with recent themes in prayer, journaling, and conviction?
Wise counsel + practical confirmations—agreement from trusted voices and doors God opens.
Order matters—obedience first, clarity often follows.
Pursuing school as a mompreneur: count the cost, build the team, design systems.
Scale business responsibly, design childcare that gives peace of mind, and budget with realistic/committed revenue.
Protect mind, body, and spirit: fuel with protein-forward meals, rest when your body says pause, and use tools that lower cognitive load.
Tools Tatum loves for study & life design:
Google Notebook to turn class notes into podcasts, videos, quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps.
A custom “LifeOS” in ChatGPT trained on syllabi, calendars, and family logistics to auto-draft weekly plans.

0:30.6	Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Blessed and Ballstop Podcast.
0:36.1	This week we are continuing on with answering the questions that you all submitted to me.
0:38.1	If you have a question that you would like to be answered on the show, just email me, Tatum at Tatumtemtumtumtumia.com. My email is in the show notes as
0:44.1	well and I will be happy to answer it here on the show. And I always love to hear what you guys are
0:49.2	going through because it could help me even inform me on what direction I may need to go on certain episodes,
0:56.9	even if it's not a Q&A. So I always love to hear from you. So keep tagging me and stuff.
1:02.5	Keep posting. Keep sending me emails. I really appreciate it. And even if I don't respond,
1:07.6	I see it most of the time. Quick disclaimer, I am getting over a cold,
1:12.6	so I will sound a little nasally today. Try my best. I'm drinking my water, taking deep breaths,
1:17.5	blowing my nose. But I will sound a little congested on this episode. So bear with me in that
1:24.5	sense. So the first question says, what do you do when you feel like you are not
1:29.9	hearing from God? This is such a great question. And the first thing that I do is put it in
1:38.5	perspective. Hear me out because a lot of us, I feel like we find ourselves in these seasons
1:43.1	where it's like God's not speaking to me. Has forgotten about me I'm not hearing from God right now all the
1:48.9	things so context really matters in this instance over the years I've learned that if I feel like
1:56.9	that I'm not hearing from God it could could be that life is too loud. My internal life, my thoughts,
2:05.6	my emotions is too loud. My external life. I'm busy. It's a lot going on. I'm listening to this,
2:13.3	listening to that. Like if I have my hands in a lot of things and there's a lot going on, that could be
2:20.0	why I'm not hearing from God because I haven't made space to hear his voice. If you are in a crowded
2:28.2	mall and it's loud and busy and it's a lot going on and somebody's hollering your name in the midst of all of that
