Good job Sarah on sharing authentically and more relatable than you might think.

Good job of dismantling the 'spiritual failure' myth. By naming burnout as a nervous system signal rather than a moral defect, you’ve given your readers permission to stop punishing themselves for being exhausted. Some seasons we need more rest than others and it’s good to lean in on a few people to help us, a circle of trust and help with each other’s burdens.

I like the Spurgeon quote, providence has a way of speaking to us in difficult seasons.

Don’t be afraid to add some images for the reader to connect with your topic, I like your opening image.

Here’s some verses to encourage:

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! I had a previous publication that accidentally got deleted, but you made some very sweet words and constructive advice on one of my first few posts on my previous publication and it meant more to me than you know, and I’m very happy to have your input on my new publication! God bless

I would love to help you maybe try to brainstorm what could help! I’m no expert, but sometimes having an outside party using their brain power can also help! Praying for you!
