EP. 93 | When to Push Through and When to Press Pause

Lately, we have been having the same conversation over and over again with exhausted writers–women who love writing and feel a holy calling to their work . . . but who also love their families, their churches, their communities, and the real lives they’ve been called to steward. Women who are trying to create out of bodies, minds, and schedules that already feel stretched thin. Today we want to talk honestly about something many writers are wrestling with: How do you know when to push through the resistance . . . and when it’s time to press pause? Listen in!

Tune in to Hear:

  • How to tell the difference between resistance that needs discipline and resistance that needs rest
  • Why “having time to write” and “having capacity to write” are two very different things
  • What planting, growing, harvest, and fallow seasons actually look like in a writer’s life
  • The smallest sustainable writing rhythm you can hold when life is genuinely hard
  • Two reflective questions to pray through this week if you’re wondering whether to keep going
