Dr. Tabatha Barber and two co-speakers argue that constant hustle blocks spiritual and physical well-being. They say exhaustion despite doing everything right signals a healing season, and that clinging to old strategies in business and life keeps you from hearing what God and your body need. The answer: stop, listen, and let go of what no longer works.
I would just urge people to just stop. Like, that's the hardest thing is to just stop and to get quiet and to really listen to your body, listen to what God is saying to you. God really tells us just to stop and rest.
If you're tired of doing all the right things and still feeling exhausted, stuck in your body, and disconnected from God, this podcast is for you. Here's something nobody tells you about healing. The season that feels like it's breaking you, it might be the season God is building you.
But, you know, it's, it's that movement that— and trying to make a change and opening your mind and not holding on to the old stuff because this is the season I'm in too. And, uh, so I think that just that moving forward, um, that movement of releasing old thoughts and moving into the new ones, um, has been really helpful for me.
The whole time you were talking, I was thinking about Lot's wife and like, you literally just can't look back, but you absolutely have to stop looking back. And it makes you feel like, oh gosh, maybe I shouldn't have done XYZ, but you did, and you've moved on, and you've got to stop looking back.
But now you have so much, and, and we can get, you know, into so many, like, I need to do this, I need to do that, I need to— like, even, even with, like, weight loss, I need to do this, I need to do that, I need to follow this, I need to do that. And then, like, that anxiety that it creates doesn't create enough space to really hear what God is saying to you, what your body needs, what our business needs. So if we're holding back onto things that used to work for us in our business, or used to work in how I used to lose weight, or, you know, uh, used to how I did things spirit— even spiritually, it's like they're dead. Like, I would rather be a novice in the new I would just rather set my mind to figuring out and recreating new solutions for myself.
Um, I would love for you to speak to that because I, I think we all get into these seasons. I know I do, where I'm grinding and hustling and working on my business the way the world tells me to, and I forget about my body and I forget about my health, and then I pay the price. And God's like, that's not how I asked you to do it, you know? And you have to come back into alignment with what he wants for you, right?
