#55: Delete + Reset: Productivity, Exhaustion, and Balancing Your Passions with Christa Hutchins

What should you do when your brain feels like it’s full of cats running in opposite directions? How can you separate your productivity from your worth? How can you tame an out-of-control to-do list?

In this third episode of the Delete + Rest series, author and coach Christa Hutchins tackles a topic that is an ongoing struggle for try-hard girls: productivity, balancing our multiple passions and roles, and exhaustion.

Christa shares how to become more process-focused than outcomes-obsessed, walks us through one healthy way to approach someone else’s success, and shares three practical strategies for the multi-passionate woman who is pursuing God’s calling.

You’ll learn how to move aware of self-sufficiency and toward God-dependence and how God gives us all the time we need to do His work.
