Summary

This week on Blessed + Bossed Up, we’re doing something a little different—and very needed.

We’re spotlighting an incredible episode from the Marriage, Motherhood & PTSD podcast, hosted by Coach Leah Huggins. Originally created for military wives navigating the effects of PTSD in marriage, this show now speaks to every woman carrying the weight of life, relationships, motherhood, and purpose—especially those doing it all while feeling like they’re running on empty.

In this featured episode, Beating Burnout: Reclaiming Peace When Running On Fumes, Coach Leah unpacks what burnout really looks like and how to begin healing from it—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’ve been stretched too thin, silently struggling, or just trying to keep it all together, this episode offers biblical truth, personal wisdom, and practical tools to help you reset.

You’ll learn:

The hidden signs of burnout (and why it’s not always obvious)
How PTSD, trauma, and chronic stress affect your energy and peace
Biblical examples of emotional fatigue—like Elijah—and how God responds
Tools for nervous system regulation, rest, and soul-care
How to start setting boundaries that honor both God and yourself
An introduction to the Stress Less Workbook, a life budgeting tool for your peace

🎧 Tune in now and discover why Marriage, Motherhood & PTSD is becoming a go-to podcast for Christian women navigating hard seasons without losing themselves in the process.
