Hey there, my beautiful friends! In this episode, I'm diving deep into the importance of making time for quiet reflection and connection with the Lord. This is something that has been weighing heavily on my heart lately, and I know it's an area that so many of you struggle with as well.

You see, I used to be the queen of busyness and overwhelm. I would use distractions and even alcohol as coping mechanisms to avoid dealing with my thoughts and emotions. And let me tell you, that never ended well. I always felt disconnected, depleted, and unfulfilled.

But when I finally got intentional about spending that quality time with God each day - even if it was just 5-10 minutes in the morning - everything started to shift. I found more peace, clarity, and direction. I was able to be more self-aware and deal with the things weighing on my heart, instead of just numbing out.

In this episode, I share my personal journey with this and why I believe it's so crucial for our emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being. I also provide practical tips and strategies for how you can implement this into your own life, even if you're feeling maxed out.

Some of the key topics I cover include:

• The benefits of quiet time with God (peace, clarity, identity, self-awareness, resilience, etc.)

• How to overcome the crutch of busyness, overwhelm, and unhealthy coping mechanisms

• Creating a comfortable, distraction-free space for your quiet time

• Breathing techniques and using prompts like meditation apps or devotionals

• Practicing gratitude and dependence on God

• My personal experiences and struggles with this, and how I've grown

By the end of this episode, my hope is that you'll be inspired and empowered to make this a consistent priority in your life. Because I truly believe it has the power to transform every area of your world.
