Welcome to the Radiant in Real Life Podcast, where we dive into topics related to life, leadership, and the pursuit of Jesus. - In Episode 64, we talked about: * What burnout actually is—and how it’s more than just being tired. * Beth’s personal experience with leadership burnout and how it affected her body, brain, and sense of purpose. * Why burnout is often the result of too many demands and not enough resources—and how that shows up in life and work. * A practical +/– calendar audit to help you assess what drains you and what restores you. * The belief that “if you see a need, you’re responsible” and why that mindset leads to exhaustion. * How boundaries are not just about saying “no,” but about creating space for what God has called you to do. * Encouragement for those in the “messy middle” who feel like stepping away from their calling is the only way out. * A reminder that healing is possible, and you don’t have to be all things to all people. - Check out more episodes and resources here: * FREE Timeblocking Tools: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/629e4eb5b7b14338733e5a03 [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/629e4eb5b7b14338733e5a03] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/] * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife [https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/ [https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/] * Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5jzli8tgcS8NMaQ9fhE8xo [https://open.spotify.com/show/5jzli8tgcS8NMaQ9fhE8xo] * Listen on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radiant-in-real-life-with-beth-medley/id1690654644 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radiant-in-real-life-with-beth-medley/id1690654644] - Thank you for tuning in to Episode 64 of the Radiant in Real Life Podcast.

Ep 63 - Tired but Called Series Intro

Welcome to the Radiant in Real Life Podcast, where we dive into topics related to life, leadership, and the pursuit of Jesus. - In Episode 63, we talked about: * The kickoff to our new series: Tired But Called—a conversation for anyone feeling both worn out and deeply purpose-driven. * What it actually means to have a “calling”—and why even those outside the faith use that word to describe meaningful, soul-level work. * The reminder that God doesn’t love us equally… He loves us uniquely—and calls us into work that fits like a glove. * How identity and calling go hand in hand: You’re a daughter before you’re a doer, but you were still made to do good work. * The critical difference between performing for God vs. partnering with Him—and how calling flows from intimacy, not striving. * The early signs of burnout and how that tension can trigger a full-blown identity crisis if not addressed. * Three key reflection questions to help listeners pause, evaluate, and walk out their calling in a healthier way: 1. Where have you been carrying your calling like a burden? 2. What would change if you led from rest instead of running on empty? 3. What would change in the people around you if you showed up from a place of fullness? - Check out more episodes and resources here: * FREE Timeblocking Tools: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/629e4eb5b7b14338733e5a03 [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/629e4eb5b7b14338733e5a03] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/] * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife [https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/ [https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/] * Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5jzli8tgcS8NMaQ9fhE8xo [https://open.spotify.com/show/5jzli8tgcS8NMaQ9fhE8xo] * Listen on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radiant-in-real-life-with-beth-medley/id1690654644 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radiant-in-real-life-with-beth-medley/id1690654644] - Thank you for tuning in to Episode 63 of the Radiant in Real Life Podcast.

Ep 62 - Imposter Syndrome Mondays

Welcome to the Radiant in Real Life Podcast, where we dive into topics related to life, leadership, and the pursuit of Jesus. - In Episode 62, we talked about: * A vulnerable and timely conversation with Madison Abbott about battling imposter syndrome, especially at the start of the workweek. * How entrepreneurship can feel disorienting when transitioning from roles like mom or employee into business owner—and why identity integration matters. * Understanding the emotional and neurological effects of imposter syndrome, including how your brain defaults to old patterns and self-doubt in times of stress. * The concept of eustress vs. distress and how living in the growth zone can feel uncomfortable but isn’t necessarily bad. * The role of spiritual warfare and why attacks often come when you're taking new ground, especially in obedience to God's calling. * Why business ownership is a constant walk of faith—where the only boss is Jesus—and how learning to hear His voice anchors everything. * Encouragement to create a grounding ritual—worship, journaling, declarations, Scripture—to combat imposter syndrome and remind yourself of your calling. * A reminder that God doesn’t give us assignments without equipping us: He’s not the kind of Father to hand you scissors and ask you to mow the lawn. - Check out more episodes and resources here: * FREE Timeblocking Tools: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/629e4eb5b7b14338733e5a03 [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/629e4eb5b7b14338733e5a03] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/] * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife [https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/ [https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/] * Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5jzli8tgcS8NMaQ9fhE8xo [https://open.spotify.com/show/5jzli8tgcS8NMaQ9fhE8xo] * Listen on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radiant-in-real-life-with-beth-medley/id1690654644 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radiant-in-real-life-with-beth-medley/id1690654644] Thank you for tuning in to Episode 62 of the Radiant in Real Life Podcast.
