61. Feeling Overwhelmed? How to Prioritize with God as a Busy Physician

You don't need another productivity system.

You don't need a longer to-do list.

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed isn't because you have too much to do—but because you're carrying things God never asked you to carry?

As physicians and healthcare professionals, we juggle clinical responsibilities, leadership, research, family, faith, church, and countless other commitments. It's no wonder so many of us feel stressed, overwhelmed, and unsure where to focus our attention.

In this episode, I share a practical and deeply spiritual framework for helping busy physicians prioritize with God, reduce stress, and gain clarity for the season they're in. We explore how daily time with the Lord, journaling, reflection, and listening to the Holy Spirit can help us discern what truly matters—and what may be keeping us from God's best.

I also walk through several powerful questions I regularly use when I need clarity and direction.

Reflection Questions

• God, what do You say my priorities need to be right now?
• Jesus, what do You want me to focus on in this season?
• What is getting in the way?
• What do I need to surrender to You?
• What do I need to let go of?
• What have You already placed in my hand?
• What resources do I need to ask You for?

As physicians, we have incredible busy schedules, and sometimes it's really hard to know where is up and where is down with all the different things we have going on. And it can be really overwhelming, and no wonder many physicians are stressed out, burned out, and are just ready to give up. So in today's podcast, I wanna share some thoughts on how you can prioritize with God to de-stress your life. So if that piques your interest, stay tuned for after the music, and I will be right back Welcome back wonderful physicians. I am so glad to be back with you. I know I have been on a little break and apologies for that. I was traveling, and then I got so busy with preparations for the Heal the Healers conference in Boston, which I wanna tell you about in a moment. But number one, I'm so glad to be back with you, and I miss doing these podcast recordings, and my commitment to myself is to be more consistent. But hey, it's real life. Sometimes we try our best, and we just juggle different things, and that's actually exactly what I wanna talk about today is how we as busy physicians can de-stress by prioritizing with God. So we're gonna talk about how we can sit with the Lord to help us with all the different things that are on our plate. And then I will probably do a part two and get into the practical steps of what can you do concretely every week to help you prioritize and set appropriate goals and achieve them. And I've been a physician coach, mostly focused on academic physicians, for pretty much almost a decade, and I've also now mentored, coached Christian physicians to integrate faith and medicine, how to live their lives according to and step into their calling, hear the voice of God learn about healing ministry lead as Jesus did, and just stay on point with all the things in terms of just our spiritual growth and disciplines. So needless to say this is something I have been living and breathing for a good decade now in my own journey, helped countless of other people with. And but there's still something I continue to work on myself. So I'm always gonna be very transparent and and just very real with you about how things work out in my life and how we can continue to improve with all the challenges we are facing in the end, it comes down to this, focus our eyes on Jesus and live according to the word of God. All right. So before we get into the priorities lesson, and I promise I'll give you some real important nuggets and some exercises that you can do, but I do not want to miss the opportunity to tell you about the Heal the Healers conference for physicians and healthcare professionals in Boston, Massachusetts on October 30 to 31st. Now, I mentioned this conference before, and many of you joined the wait list, and thank you so much. And a bunch of you already purchased tickets because you got on early on the priority access list. And I'm so excited to welcome many of you. Having said all that, registration for early bird, which means it's the lowest price that will be offered, is now open. I just opened registration yesterday, and I want you to be in the room. This is going to be an incredible conference the Lord put on my heart over a year ago. We're gonna talk about healing and miracles, bridging science and faith. This is going to be one of a kind of a conference that you won't find anywhere else. It's not because I'm so awesome, although I try to be obedient with the steps that the Lord has given me. But this is really a vision the Lord has given me, and I'm just walking it out. And I'm so super excited how it's all coming together, and I'm in eager anticipation what the Lord will do. So we will be in Boston, Massachusetts, in the heart of the medical centers of all the major hospitals right there on Longwood Avenue. If you're familiar with Boston, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Right where the Harvard Medical School is, where the Boston Children's and the Dana-Farber and the Brigham and the BI are. All hospitals, short of the BI, that I have worked at and trained at. I spent 11 years of my career in Boston. I'm excited to be back and serve the community there. We will be talking about healing and miracles, and this is a prime topic to talk about as Christian physicians and healthcare professionals to integrate faith and medicine. We will have some theological and scientifically rigorous discussions around healing, about miracles. We have incredible lineup of speakers, and this deserves probably a full episode and hope I get some of those speakers on this very podcast. But we have our theologians, Professor Greg Keener from Asbury Seminary. They are talking about miracles. He is the world's foremost scholar on miracles. So that alone will be worth your trip to Boston, and you do not want to miss that. We also have a number of physicians that are practicing but that also work in the intersection of faith and spirituality and medicine. So my good friends Michael and Tracy Balboni, who are a physician and pastor couple right at Harvard gonna be speaking on their research, on their experiences with faith and medicine, especially when it comes to end-of-life care. They are incredible people. You don't want to miss their talk. We have Josh and Candy Brown, both PhDs, both actually trained in Boston as well but are now at the Indiana University. Candy is a professor of religious studies, and Josh is a PhD in neurosciences. They have studied miracles as well. They have actually a whole research institute for it. And they also have tested and examined and done clinical trials on prayer and the effectiveness of prayer for patients. And Candy will probably talk about some other very interesting topics about medicine, intersection with alternative medicine, et cetera. You do not want to miss them. They are incredible people, and you will be blessed listening to them. We have other physicians, Alyssa Hinkle, who has been on this podcast. Matthew Hsu and his wife, both physicians, surgeons in psychiatry. They're gonna share more about integration, faith, and medicine. We're gonna have a whole mental health track and breakout session talking about mental health issues and the intersection of faith. So we are gonna have a breadth of scholarship, but also this is really important. We're gonna have some real practitioners there as well. Most of these people also minister. That means they're not just having head knowledge or book knowledge, but they're actually on the front lines doing either the work as physicians and integrating their faith or are ministers of the gospel, have been teaching, have been equipping the body of Christ and ministering to people. Specifically Ken Fish, who's one of our keynote speakers from the founder of Orbis Ministries, is an incredible man of God, a wonderful, incredible teacher, so thoughtful, methodologic with a lot of thoughtful process around the healing ministry of Jesus. He has been in ministry for over four decades and, was part of the early Vineyard movement and has a lot of incredible, powerful stories to tell to illustrate where faith and medicine interconnect, how the Kingdom of God, the kingdom and the works of Jesus look in real practical action like what we see in the Bible. And not only that, he will also do major parts of the ministry time in equipping us. So you will leave this conference number one, personally, my prayer is being transformed and being touched by the Lord. That means you have an encounter with the Lord. That's what I'm praying for. I'm praying that you have a whole fresh new revelation of the Lord, a deeper intimacy with Jesus like you had never before, and that this will really catapult you not only in your faith but also in your professional life. I personally have been in conferences, actually in Ken Fisher's conferences a few years ago. You heard me speak about this on this very podcast. My life has never been the same. I want that for everybody. Of shackles fall off your eyes and be equipped in Jesus' name to go forth powerfully in medicine and in healthcare because surely the kingdom is needed in healthcare. And that... by that, I don't mean through policy or through regulations. I mean by the works of Jesus, and you're fully equipped to do that, but you might not be aware really, and you might be maybe even a bit intimidated. But the Bible is available to us. I want all of us to step into that. Wherever you are, you might have never thought about these things. You might be fully walking in those things, and you're like, "The book of Acts is my daily bread." Awesome. But there is always more in the Lord, isn't there? So that's what we will be doing. You will be richly blessed. So it will be personal encounter. It will be ministry to you. It will be also equipping. My prayer is that you will be healed and restored. I think many of you will come and need a personal touch from Jesus because let's face it, our job is really grinding and rigorous and difficult, and we need a personal restoration, a personal refreshment. We have broken pieces that the Lord wants to mend together, and you might not even realize that. That's definitely part of my story. I can share another time. That is one of the key parts, personal restoration, healing, equipping for yourself. But then it is also equipping so you can go out and do what the Lord is calling you to do, which is a unique purpose and calling, and I want you to be equipped for that because Our faith, if it's not livable and not practical and without power, what good does it do if we just show up on a Sunday? Doesn't do good anywhere. We are there to go out. So now I got on my preaching chair with this. Anyways, as you can tell, I'm very passionate. I want you to be in the room. This is not to be missed. Early bird registration, again, is open. You sign up under healthehealersconference.com/boston2026. Again, healthehealersconference.com/boston2026. I will put the link in the show notes. Early bird registration is open basically for a month until the end of July or when we sell the allocated number of tickets, which I think we have about fifty seats open for that range. Again, once word spreads, especially with the speaker lineup, this thing might very well sell out fast because you don't get these speakers in the room all together usually. It's really a work of the Lord. I encourage you, don't miss out on this opportunity. Share it with friends and family meaning anybody in the healthcare field. And if you're a physician and you're like, "This is awesome, but my spouse is not in medicine, can he or she still come?" Absolutely. Come together because medicine is a family affair So please bring your spouse. But this is primarily for physicians and healthcare professionals, meaning anywhere in the healthcare fields. A physician, scientist PhD kind of people who are in the medical scientist sciences, dentists, nurses nurse practitioners, pharmacists, PAs, et cetera. You're all welcome. Please come, share it with your friends and colleagues, and just let's mobilize people because this is a movement in medicine because the Lord is doing a work. I see it popping up over the last year everywhere, and you will want to be part of that and not sit out. So with that, I bless you and I hope to see you in Boston. Now with that said we juggle all a lot. So one of it, you need to pay attention to your spiritual health, and that's exactly what we're gonna be doing in Boston. But a lot of it has to do with that we need to learn how, as busy physicians, we can prioritize our lives live from the right priorities. And that has practical implications, but also how do we prioritize with the Lord? Because let's face it, as physicians, we have 100 things going on. There are so many plates to juggle, and we are constantly living in this mindset that hopefully nothing drops and breaks, whether it's the clinical care. You may be in a clinic or in a hospital setting. You might have administrative task or teaching or research. So that's just your job. And then on top of that, you likely have family or loved ones to take care of. And and then of course, there is church. Maybe you're involved in a church. Maybe you're like, "I wish, but I don't even have time for that." So that's where we are pulled in a million different directions that leaves us exhausted and defeated And here's the thing, our time is limited, right? That's true for all of us, and we need to make most of the time and the opportunities given. So we don't want to waste time. We don't want to waste opportunities even that the Lord might bring to us, but we don't even have bandwidth for. And then another important thing is if our life is pulled in so many different directions, we are usually falling short of taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually including taking appropriate amounts of resting. And by that, I don't necessarily mean taking a nap, although that's great. I'm not a nap taker. When I take a nap, usually I feel worse after that. All these things come down to living from the right priorities And one thing I learned as a physician coach and a leadership coach over the last decade, is that good leaders know how to prioritize well, And they lead themselves well by prioritizing well. So that means good leaders really put priorities front and center in their lives. And you can see that everywhere if you read, pick up a leadership book. I've been a leadership coach with the John Maxwell team. I started that journey in 2015, I believe, and been part of the team for years, and that's where I learned a lot of the things. So you do need to learn how to prioritize, and I know that it's easier said than done, and you probably know this already but how do I actually do that? And there are two parts I want to touch upon and probably will do two episodes. One part are the practical kind of things. How do I go about my day and week to prioritize properly? And how do I set goals and accomplish them? As a physician coach, I work with this particular thing with people all the time and have done so for, as I said, a decade. So if you need help with that, please reach out. Just send me a message via the podcast. There is a link called, I think, fan mail or send a message on your podcast platform. That goes straight to my inbox. I love to read your mail. So the other part is, how do we rightly prioritize with the Lord? And that is what I wanna focus on today, and then probably next time we're gonna talk about the practical aspects of prioritization. How do you work that out every week? But today I wanna focus on how do you prioritize with the Lord, and I wanna give you some thoughts and in the end leave you with a couple journaling questions that I encourage you to work through and go back on and actually use. Because here's the thing, you can listen to me all day long. If you don't do anything with a podcast or what I'm teaching here or take a next step, nothing will change. You had maybe some entertainment, but nothing will ever change if we just purely listen to stuff. And hey, I have learneritis too, so I totally get it. But here's what I wanna tell you My prioritizing with the Lord is incredibly important because the Lord already knows, number one, He has a purpose for you, right? The Lord has a good plan for your life, and that is where you reach your fulfillment, your fullest potential. I'm sometimes hesitant to use that word because it's so much overused in the personal development and even new agey world that I'm cautious about some of that language because I've come from some of those spaces that I anyways, that I'm cautious about. But the Lord has gone already before you. He knows the good plans He has for you that He wants you to walk in because He has uniquely equipped and gifted you in terms of your talents, the schooling He has allowed and supported you through, as well as even your spiritual giftings that He has given. So it's not just your natural characteristics and your gifts and skills and talents, but also your spiritual gifts and talents. And the Lord has imparted those in you. Maybe they're laying a bit dormant right now for some of you, but they are in you to be essentially activated and used. We just sometimes have stuff available to us that we don't use, right? You might have tools in your kitchen drawer or in your garage that you're like, "I could use them for some really good things, but I actually never do." It's a bit similar in our life that we have access to a lot of things, but unless we use them and utilize them they are just sitting there on the shelf and don't do much good. So it's a skill to even learn how to access them and just make use of them. And that's probably a whole nother episode. But so key part to remember, the Lord has equipped you. He has gifted you in natural gifts, in characteristics, in your talents, but also in spiritual gifts. Number two, because the Lord has already given you these things, He's also gone before you. He already knows the next step or even down the road 10 years from now, where he sees you, where he has planted you, where he sees you living your purpose in him and living for the kingdom. All that is already clear to him, but it might not be clear to you. And the point of all of it is to let me understand get the mind of Christ, so have that understanding and come operate from that point. Because would you rather fumble around on your own or would you rather walk with the Lord? We'd rather walk with the Lord, right? It's a lot more fun. We know that there is good purpose and things in it, but sometimes we just don't know how, and that's what we're talking about today. So two things. He's gone before us, He has good plans for us, He has equipped you. So these are keys. So now then, how do we figure this out? A lot of it is the Lord speaks, and He speaks to us. I've done many podcasts on those, but just as a refresher, the Lord speaks to us in various ways and at various times. He speaks through us in His Word, of course. You should be reading that every day. He speaks to us through the voice of the Holy Spirit. That might be just an internal dialogue we're having. And don't easily dismiss it that it's just from you, because it might actually be from the Lord. And so that's something to pay attention to. And He speaks to us sometimes through other ways vision, dreams, et cetera. I'm not gonna go into this today, but rather to say the Lord speaks, and I wanna focus on these simple things that we can pick up, which is more the inner witness, the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit, because that is probably the most common one in combination with Scripture. And you have to learn how to pay attention to that if you wanna partner with the Lord and the Holy Spirit in prioritizing your life rightly. And I'm preaching that to myself, too, because we all get so excited and have so many ideas. If you're like me, I get excited about many things, and I'm a doer and a type A person. I'm a go-getter. I wanna get it all done, but then usually I load way too many things on my plate and get overwhelmed. Just ask my family, and they will witness to that. So what can you do to capture what the Lord is speaking to you through His Word or through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, which might mean it looks to you maybe this thought popped in my head? And there are a few ways that I have found really helpful. Number one is journaling. Or should, I should step back. Number one is have a daily quiet time with the Lord have a quiet time is also such an odd word. Have a designated time each day where you sit with the Lord, where you're in His Word, and where you pray and you pause for a moment. And I know that pausing is hard, especially when we juggle a lot of things and feel stressed and overwhelmed. And that's just another season, actually. I love sitting with the Lord, and I sit there for quite a bit and read a length of scripture. But at some point I'm like, "I gotta go do these things on my to-do list." And I understand that this is a stretch sometimes for us, but I highly encourage you, sit. A minute might feel like a long time, but it's very valuable, and you will be so richly rewarded. So sit with the Lord is the first thing. Spend designated time each day, whether it's in the morning or at nighttime, or whether it's even just going on a walk And then the second point I alluded to is journal. Write things down. You wanna capture your thoughts which are maybe are just your thoughts, but they could be the thoughts from the Lord. And I have found over the years that the more I journal, the more clear it becomes to me as I walk through the daily journaling practice and reading of the scriptures, what are my thoughts? What are His thoughts? And I give you just an example. There are times when the Lord nudged me about something, and it's just a random thing. So at the beginning of the year, I think even end of last year when I do my new year routine about thinking, planning, prioritizing my new year one thing that the Lord really laid on my heart for the first part of the year, and I feel like I'm still working on it, is laying foundations laying strong foundations everywhere, whether that's my business, my ministry for my family in the household. It's basically building even more robust structures and systems and processes for me to have a strong foundation to build up on. And I was like, "Okay, I'm doing that." And then as time went on I think I was less intentional about it, although I was still working on it. And now I kept on being nudged about it again a number of times during my quiet time, really out of the blue. And that was for me a good indicator because it just happened six months ago that the Lord is actually speaking and saying, "No, you need to lay strong foundations in every area of your life, basically structures and systems, before you expand and build, et cetera, so that you build on solid ground and a solid rock." And actually, that's a general principle I pass you on for free right there. There is my bonus strategy. But if I hadn't journaled on that and been intentional with those thoughts, I wouldn't have recognized the pattern as much, and this happens to me all the time. So journaling your thoughts, your process going through reading of the Word is important. And by that, I don't necessarily mean you're doing an inductive Bible study and a word study and you're dissecting out scripture verse by verse. That has its place. Super important. Super helpful. That's not what I'm talking about. It's more what are my personal ahas and reflection that I either have coming from reading this particular scripture or that just pops in my head while I'm sitting here? Because we rarely give ourselves the time, and that's another key learn To actually sit there and process and think for ourselves because we're always jumping from thing to thing to thing, being very reactionary. You have to create room in your day every day to spend some time to be quiet before the Lord and to think and reflect and to process, and journaling is a fantastic way, and I would highly encourage you pen and paper, not the computer, because that's another discussion. Distraction and other things that go in, get in the way. That was journaling And then related to that, so journaling is the method. As you sit with the Lord, you will recognize patterns of thought, and they can be often giving you a clue of what you should prioritize on. So it might be that there is a repetitive kind of thought or pattern that you notice that the Lord is pulling your attention in a certain direction that is maybe unexpected. So an example for me, which I have honestly not executed much, is the Lord for now over a year has been speaking to me in my own time, even through some voices that, that sounds odd. Some people in my life that I honor and respect and some prophetic voices in my life that actually spoken that over me, creativity. That probably popped up about a year or two ago with... through one of my mentors in just this past month when I was traveling to Glasgow. Somebody else prophesied that over me, that does not know me, that does not know anything and it's in my journal. It was a confirmation in that setting. So it might be an unexpected thing, but if you don't track it, you won't notice. So you wanna look for patterns. What is coming up that's maybe even out of the blue, like this creative thing for me? So these are some practical things you can do. Now, I promised you to finish up, I want to give you a couple journaling questions. I'm gonna give you some homework to go through. Take some time whether it's during your quiet time, or you have a little coffee shop date with yourself, or whatever it might be, to go through these questions. Again, this doesn't have to take long. You can do ten, fifteen minutes, and you will be blessed. And you ask the Lord these questions, and I'm gonna put them in the show notes for you as well, so if you're currently driving, that you don't have to worry about it. Just look back at your show notes in your podcast app, and you can pick them up from there. Because what we do want to do with these questions is we want to get clarity from the Lord of what are the priorities He has for us in mind versus what are our own. And the easiest way, believe it or not, is just ask the Holy Spirit, because that's what relationship with Jesus means. We talk to Him. So you can just start in prayer and then ask the Lord, "God, what do you say my priorities need to be in this season?" And especially this is important when you are overwhelmed. And how do I know this? Because this exactly what I had to go through even this past few weeks as I had a lot going on, and still do, in the thick of it with the conference planning. Sometimes have to take a step back and ask the Lord, "What are my priorities right now? So God, what do you say my priorities need to be right now?" Ask Him specifically, because we often struggle to see the big picture. But remember, God already knows, and we get lost in the weeds of things, in the little things, when He has a big picture for us in mind that we often lose in the daily juggle of things. So ask Him It could look something like this in prayer. Jesus, you know all things. What do you want me to focus on right now? Simple question. Then just sit there and wait. Don't do anything. Don't look at your phone. Just wait and sit there in the quiet for a little bit, and whatever comes to mind, start writing down. And then ask the Lord, "What is getting in the way? What are the roadblocks?" So there might be obstacles that are getting in the way. There might be clearly you immediately like, "Oh, yeah, I'm afraid to get that started," or, "Ugh, I just don't prioritize it. I don't have time for it." There must be something that's in the way, and you want to bring that to the forefront and articulate that. But ask the Lord. And then ask, "What do I need to g- give to you?" These are more things, what do I need to give to you in a sense of trust, in a sense of what do I need to give to you? Maybe I need to give up fear. Maybe I need to give up the burden to try to control everything. These are more emotional spiritual things that we hand over to the Lord in faith. So what do I need to give to you? And then the next question is, what do I need to let go of or give up? Now, these are practical things that are maybe on your plate that the Lord feels like, "Hey, you don't need to do this. I never really asked you to do this. You just decided that all on your own, and no wonder you're so busy." I have probably a lot of those on my plate So ask the Lord, and then ask Him next, "What is in my hand?" So what is in your hand that you can use? For example, Moses, right? The Lord asked, "What is in your hand?" The staff, right? And then he used that staff, and he did some demonstration, a different kind of teaching. But the Lord has given you resources right now in your hand. Don't look for the things you don't have, but look at the things the Lord has given you in your hand right now and work with that. And then get started, because often what we do is we are so worried about the things we don't have, time, resources, money, and I totally get that. Let me tell you, planning a conference of this magnitude there's a lot of things I don't have. I'm walking by a prayer of faith here and a vision the Lord gave me in January 2026 five. That is it. I don't have anything else. I don't have money in the bank account. I don't have anything else to offer other than my daily yes, and I'm like, "Lord, make it work somehow." But look what came together. Just look at the website, and you will be like, "Wow, she pulled that out of nowhere. She must have a lot of connections." I have zero connections. The Lord did all of that. So what is in your hand? It could be something very simple. And then the next one, you can then ask the what resources do I need? And more I want you to pray that and inquire of the Lord from a posture of, "Okay, what resources do I need?" What are the things I don't have? And not from a place of let me worry about them, but as a request and petition to the Lord. Read Philippians what is it? 4:5-7 or something. Yeah, bring your don't be anxious about anything, and bring your request and petition with prayer and thanksgiving to the Lord. That's what we're supposed to do. So these short questions, so again, God, what do you say my priorities need to be right now? Ask Jesus directly, What do you want me to focus on right now?" Then what is getting in the way? What are the roadblocks? What do I need to give to you, Lord? Meaning spiritual, emotional, what do I have to give up? Unburden myself, give it to the Lord. And then what do I need to let go of? That means projects to drop, things on your to-do list. What is in my hand, and what do the are the resources I need? This is how I want you and me, both of us Lean into the priorities and working with the Lord on this. So with that, I bless you. Please do me a favor.
