Have you ever found yourself running on empty—trying to hold everything together while quietly feeling like you’re falling apart? If so, you’re not alone. And today’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast was recorded with you in mind.

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, I sit down with author and speaker Vivian Cumins to talk about burnout, breakdown, and the beautiful way God meets us right in the middle of it all. In her book Break Down Better, Vivian shares her personal story of striving, exhaustion, and a breaking point that ultimately became the doorway to deep healing and restoration.

Together, we talk about why so many women feel overwhelmed, how perfectionism and control can keep us stuck, and what it looks like to surrender our lives back to the Lord—one step at a time.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• The subtle warning signs of burnout you may be overlooking
• Why rest is not selfish—it’s biblical
• How surrender can lead to deeper freedom and peace
• Practical ways to invite God into your everyday life
• Encouragement for finding joy again, even in hard seasons

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, discouraged, or stretched too thin, I pray this conversation reminds you of this simple but powerful truth: God is near, and He longs to restore what feels worn down in you.

Friend, you don’t have to keep striving. You don’t have to carry it all. There is a better way—and it begins by turning back to Him.

With love,
Rachael
