The Power of Encouragement

Things We Are Tired Of

Sometimes you just need to say the quiet part out loud. In this bonus episode of Team Not Tired, Ashley and Shareen are setting a one-minute timer and rallying around a few things they are officially tired of. It’s light, honest, a little unhinged, and ends with the kind of encouragement every mission-minded woman needs. Come for the rants. Stay for the rally.

Get Out(side)

Overstimulated, anxious, mission-minded women need fresh air too. In this episode of Team Not Tired, Ashley and Shareen talk about why getting outside is not just a wellness trend — it is a spiritual invitation. Rooted in Psalm 19 and Matthew 6, this conversation reminds us that creation has a way of quieting our minds, calming our bodies, and pointing us back to the Creator. From birds and flowers to backyard walks and 20 minutes of sunlight, this episode is an invitation to step away from the screen, breathe deeply, and remember that God has been speaking through His creation all along. Sister, this is your sign to get out(side).

You're Allowed To Have Fun

Busy, responsible, mission-minded women need fun too. In this episode of Team Not Tired, Ashley and Shareen talk about why joy is not a distraction from your calling — it is a gift from God. Rooted in Ecclesiastes 3:12–13, this conversation is an invitation to stop feeling guilty for enjoying your life and start making room for the simple, soul-restoring moments that bring delight. From hobbies and “leisurely activities” to dancing in the kitchen and becoming the fun friend, this episode reminds us that we can live on mission without wearing burnout like a badge of honor. Sister, you are allowed to have fun.

The Pace of Grace

In this episode of Team Not Tired, Shareen and Ashley talk about the pace of grace and why so many of us are either sprinting toward burnout or walking slower than our calling requires. Using the idea of a runner’s “base pace,” they unpack what it means to build stamina without striving, increase capacity without losing peace, and run at a pace that your soul, your family, and the people you lead can actually sustain. If you’ve been saying, “I just need to get through one more thing,” this conversation is your gentle invitation to ask: Am I being driven, or am I being led? Because grace doesn’t just help you start strong. It helps you finish well.

Delegation is Discipleship

In this episode of Team Not Tired, we continue the conversation on the invisible load and talk about why delegation is not weakness, it is wisdom. From Moses and Jethro to Jesus feeding the 5,000, we unpack how sharing the load helps us run at a sustainable pace, build better systems, and invite others into ownership. If your to-do list is never done and you are tired of wearing “I do it all” like a badge of honor, this episode will help you trade overwhelm for structure, support, and a little more peace.
