I think it's easy as Christians to be like just, you know, tend to your soul and just tend to that.

When I've realized because I've had a breakdown in every area of my life, that's what led to this

book, that I'm a whole person. And so it's not just my soul. Everything else, like my physical,

my mental, my emotional, that all ties together. And I had a mental, physical, emotional,

spiritual breakdown and absolutely burnt myself out in all of the ways. And I look back and realize

that God had been like flashing these yellow like warning signs in my life. Like, Tara,

it's time to slow down. Tara, you're distracting yourself into oblivion. Tara, you're overcommitting.

You're listening to Shee with me, Jordan Lee Dooley, a faith-based wellness podcast to support you

in your motherhood journey and inspire you to be good to your body. Come invited, leave ignited.

Welcome back to another episode of She. Today, I am here with my friend Tara. Tara, can you say hi? Hey, friends. I'm so excited to be here. Thanks for having me, Jordan.

bodies in so many ways. We often think about wellness being like green juice and workouts,

but there's so much more to it. And so this is a really, really timely conversation in a

culture that we live in that really glorifies busyness and glorifies productivity. And while those is a really, really timely conversation in a culture that we live in that really glorifies

busyness and glorifies productivity. And while those can be great things, they can also take a toll on us.

So I would love to hear from you. I know in overbooked and overwhelmed, you share kind of your personal

breaking point. What was happening in your life? And maybe even in your body that kind of signaled

something was off. You're running on empty and maybe

things needed to change absolutely yeah so i love that you touched on this just like whole body

wellness i think it's easy as christians to be like just you know tend to your soul and just tend to
