• Why stillness is more powerful than performance
• The story of Mary & Martha (and who you’re really being right now)
• What it means to bleed out to God not social media

Have you ever felt like you’re chasing after God, trying to do more—pray more, read more, journal more—just to feel close to Him? What if I told you that you don’t have to do more, but simply be more?
In this episode of Ladies After Wisdom, we’re diving into how to deepen your relationship with God and yourself—without adding more to your already full plate. I’ll share a powerful conversation I had with my son that completely shifted the way I see God, and we’ll talk about:
✨ Why high-achieving women struggle to feel close to God ✨ The truth about being in His presence vs. doing for Him✨ How to recognize God in your daily life—even in the chaos ✨ The connection between your relationship with God and how you treat yourself ✨ Practical ways to experience God more deeply without overwhelm
📖 James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” But drawing near isn’t about striving—it’s about acknowledging that He’s already near.
If you’ve been feeling distant from God or just need a reminder that you are already enough, this episode is for you.
✨ Listen now & tag me with your takeaways! And if this blessed you, share it with another mama who needs to hear this today. 💛

Mama, if your calendar is packed but your peace is missing… this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, I’m pulling back the curtain on something we rarely talk about: why high-achieving women keep trying to “fix” their time with prettier planners—while quietly running on empty.
We’re digging into:
• Why busyness can feel like a badge of honor
• The lie behind “there’s not enough time in the day”
• What the real first step of time management is (hint: it’s not another app)
• How slowing down will feel at first—and why you’ll want to speed back up
This episode won’t just nudge you to take a breath… it’ll help you build a new rhythm that works with your life—not against it.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing a simple moment with my son that opened my eyes to a much bigger truth—how fear, especially the fear of failing, often keeps high-achieving women stuck in cycles of busyness, perfectionism, and avoidance.

We say we’re just too busy.
But what if… we’re just scared?
Today, we’re getting real about what fear looks like in disguise, how to know when it’s running the show, and how to start moving forward—even while it’s still present.

Have you ever been praised for being a high achiever — always reliable, showing up, getting it done? But somewhere along the line, did that drive start to feel like pressure instead of purpose?
In this heartfelt episode, Coach Q breaks down the very thin line between high achieving and overachieving — and why knowing the difference can protect your peace, your health, your relationships, and even your money.
You’ll hear real talk on:
• The signs you’ve crossed into overachieving (and may not even know it)
• How fear can quietly lead your life if you’re not self-aware
• Why being “the strong one” could be costing you more than it’s blessing you
• How to start leading with wisdom, not worry
This is not a place of shame, Mama. This is your safe space to pause, reflect, and pivot. You don’t have to do it all — and you’re still worthy when you rest.
