• the loneliness and pressure of single leadership
• unlearning work-first discipleship in church spaces
• practicing humility, trust, and partnership with God
• rest vs escapism vs avoidance explained
• anxiety, health signals, and nervous system care
• how to find friends who can hold your “I’m tired”
