PUTTING DOWN THE CAPE
Value is not my exhaustion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if this year, you stopped measuring your worth by how tired you are?
In this episode of Putting Down the Cape, we explore the powerful truth that your value does not equal your exhaustion. Through personal testimony, scriptural reflection, and honest conversation about work, rest, and recovery, this episode invites you to release the pressure to overfunction and embrace a more sustainable rhythm for your life.
I share openly about pausing the podcast during a season of surgery and healing—and what it taught me about rest, boundaries, and trusting God beyond productivity. Grounded in Scripture and practical reflection, this episode offers journal prompts and encouragement for anyone learning how to balance purpose with care.
