Summary
My guest today Jehava Brown takes us into how she started a blog as a side project while staying home with her kids and transitioned that site into a full-time job.
We talk about work/life balance, setting health boundaries and trusting God to be in charge of the things we can’t control.
“I know that God is the one who provides every job and every dime. And so when I can rest in that, I don't feel the pressure to hustle 24 hours a day. I was working sometimes even 60 hours a week, which was just crazy. And most of it was at night, so it wasn't getting good sleep. I realized I'm not willing to live that way. So I really had to trust God to a different level”
Jehava is a mom of three boys and she blogs at www.onlygirl4boyz.com. She also shares how she’s connecting with her teenage son differently and some changes she’s made since the quarantine to keep up with housework.

| 0:31.2 | I know that God is the one who provides every job and every dime and so when I can rest |
| 0:36.6 | in that, I don't feel the pressure to hustle 24 hours a day and I was doing that initially |
| 0:41.8 | so I was working sometimes even 60 hours. |
| 0:44.3 | And a week was just crazy, especially because most of it was at night so I wasn't getting |
| 0:49.2 | good sleep and then I just realized I'm not willing to live that way and it's okay if other |
| 0:54.0 | people make that choice but I knew that I did not have peace in my art to do that so I |
| 0:59.8 | really had to trust God to a different level of, no, I'm only giving five hours today |
| 1:05.4 | and most are going to be bedtime or nap time or I'm going to get up early but these are |
| 1:09.5 | the ways that will work best for my family that I don't feel like I'm really pulling |
| 1:14.2 | away from either one of those roles. |
| 1:17.2 | The irony of this week's episode is that the week prior, I really struggled to be fully |
| 1:24.5 | present in all the places and I'm barely squeezing in in the tiny moments between things recording |
| 1:32.1 | this intro right now. |
