You look like you’re holding it all together… but deep down, you’re tired, stretched thin, and wondering where you went in the middle of it all.

What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is hidden in the very story you’ve been trying to move past?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Teresa Blaes — author, speaker, wife, and mother — to talk about what it really looks like to find God in your story… especially when life doesn’t look the way you expected.

Teresa shares her journey of navigating motherhood with a special-needs daughter, staying anchored in her faith through life’s challenges, and choosing obedience even when it’s uncomfortable. Together, we unpack why so many high-achieving Christian women feel spiritually disconnected despite their success, and how to come back into alignment with God’s pace.

This episode will meet you right where you are if:

  •  You’re carrying the weight of your career, family, and faith—and feel like you’re losing yourself 
  •  You’ve been pushing through burnout instead of healing from it 
  •  You struggle to see how God is working in your current season 
  •  You know you’re called to more, but feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward 

Teresa reminds us that your story isn’t something to hide. It’s a tool God wants to use. And when you begin to see His hand in every chapter, everything shifts.

Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

  •  How to recognize God’s presence in both the blessings and the hard seasons 
  •  Why your story matters more than you think (and who it’s meant to impact) 
  •  The connection between burnout, disconnection, and ignoring God’s pace 
  •  What it looks like to walk in obedience as a wife, mother, and leader 

If you’ve been craving peace, clarity, and a deeper connection with God while still showing up fully in your life, this conversation is your invitation back.

🎧 And if this episode speaks to you, She Leads Boldly isn’t just a podcast. It’s a space where high-achieving Christian wives and mothers learn how to lead, live, and love from a place of alignment with Christ… not exhaustion.
