About the show

**Top 5% Podcast Globally Ranked for Building Boundaries + Escaping Survival Mode + Connecting with God** Work-Life Boundaries is the go-to podcast for the burned-out, high-performing Christian working mom who knows deep down something is off and needs to change — but feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, disconnected from God and doesn't know where to start. If you're juggling a demanding career, a household that never stops, and a level of faith that feels like one more thing on the to-do list, you're not failing. You're missing the boundaries the world never taught you to set — the ones that protect your peace, your purpose, and your time with God. I’m your host, Bethany — Work-Life Boundaries Coach, wife, mom of four, and recovering workaholic. If you’re a woman who is tired of living in chaos and ready to build a life marked by healthier boundaries, more peace and a stronger connection with Jesus, this is the podcast for you. Each week, I’ll share honest conversations, biblical truth, and practical, faith-led encouragement around the things Christian women aren’t always willing to admit out loud — burnout, survival mode, mental overload, lack of routines (or finding your groove in the season you're in), identity loss and the lack of work-life boundaries that keep us stuck. You’ll find support and simple strategies to help you: 🕊️ Stop striving the world’s way and start resting in God’s way 🧱 Build healthier boundaries that protect your peace at work and at home 📖 Reconnect with daily prayer and Bible reading – in whatever season you find yourself 🔥 Break the cycle of burnout, mom guilt and living in survival mode 💛 Reclaim your identity in Christ before the world tells you who to be Because the truth is, peace is not going to come from a better planner, trying harder or carrying more. It comes from better boundaries, deeper surrender and a heart posture turned toward Jesus. So open your notes app and grab your earbuds. Wherever you find yourself in the in-between today, girl, I’m really glad you’re here. 🎧 New episodes drop every week. Hit subscribe, and let’s build boundaries and a life that aligns you with God.
