Summary

There’s a quiet unraveling that can happen in the name of doing it all. You wake up one morning feeling like a shadow of yourself—your schedule’s full, your to-do list is long, but your soul feels thin. You’re showing up, sure… but not from a place of wholeness. “Something has to shift”, you think.

In today’s episode of Let’s Be Cleere, I’m joined by my dear friend Alyssa Joy Bethke—author, mama (now to four!), podcast host, and truth-teller whose life is such an example of what it means to steward what matters and learn to release what doesn’t. Her newest book When Doing It All Is Undoing You has been an anchor for countless women feeling stretched, worn, and quietly wondering, “Is this how it’s supposed to feel?”

Together, we talk about the ache and glory of motherhood, the refining nature of life’s transitions, and the sacred undoing that often comes before deep healing. Alyssa shares what it looks like to embrace slow rhythms in a world that tells us to run faster—and how rest, surrender, and small faithfulness are often the truest signs of strength.

Whether you're in a season of busyness, transition, or simply trying to breathe deeper and live slower, this episode will meet you there—with gentleness, wisdom, and the invitation to lay it all down.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• How undoing can be the beginning of healing

• The myth of balance and the beauty of surrender

• Her CRAZY, miraculous birth story of her fourth, Jayden (you won’t want to miss this one!)

• Rhythms of renewal in the thick of motherhood

• Why your worth was never meant to be earned

This one feels like a deep breath. A reminder that less really can be more, and that you’re already deeply loved right where you are.
