Summary
In this conversation, Dr. Arianna Molloy talks about what happens when our deep sense of calling starts to wear thin. She shares her own story of discovering what a healthy calling looks like and how burnout, when left unchecked, can unravel our identity. Arianna reframes calling not as a personal mission to chase but as a relational act. She walks through the signs of burnout, boundaries and why rest is essential.
Takeaways
- Burnout isn’t all or nothing but creeps in gradually, and recognizing where we are on the spectrum is part of healing.
- Burnout from calling can cut deep. It can distort your sense of identity and connection to God.
- Rest isn’t what happens after the work, it’s part of the work.
Episode field note: Don’t despise the process of slowing down.
Rest isn’t the absence of work, it’s a vital part of it. Healthy leaders know that excellent work and excellent work together.
