The Gift of Focus
The Gift of Focus (feat. Operational Burnout + REWIRED Reset)
As the year closes, many women who lead feel the pressure to “finish strong”—but end up depleted, distracted, and delaying what God already assigned. In this episode, Dr. Dwan names a common struggle: operational burnout—when you’re still functioning and producing, but doing it on autopilot with an empty cup. You’ll learn how focus isn’t harsh or selfish—it’s obedience and stewardship, and how to reset with discipline, awareness, and a faith-centered next step.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- Why the year feels “faster” when we delay what God told us to do
- What operational burnout is and why it makes focus harder
- How distraction can masquerade as “rest”
- The difference between awareness that helps vs. awareness that becomes excuses
- Why focus is a form of obedience—not isolation or attitude
- How protecting your focus is stewardship, not selfishness
Reflection Questions
- Where has my motivation been inconsistent lately—and why?
- What “rest” have I been choosing that isn’t actually restoring me?
- What assignment has God already given me that I keep postponing?
- What boundary do I need to set to protect my focus this week?
REWIRED Action Step (Focus Reset)
Choose one thing this week:
- An unfinished task
- A familiar habit that needs attention
- Or a pause to hear God more clearly
Then pray and ask:
“God, what do You want me to focus on right now?”
Listen without rushing… and then do it.
