Talk With Toby Ep 2 Jenny McKinney - Strength Through the Storms

When 'No' Is a Godly Word: Lisa Redl on Burnout, Boundaries & Protecting What Matters Most

Have you ever been so busy helping everyone else that you lost yourself in the process? In this episode, Toby sits down with Lisa Redl — unfiltered, fiercely protective of her family, and refreshingly honest — for a conversation that a lot of women need to hear but rarely have. Lisa opens up about burning out from a compulsion to help everyone, even people who never asked for it, and how that pattern quietly cost her in her most important relationships. She shares what it took to finally walk away — temporarily — to rediscover who she was outside of everyone else's needs. And now she's channeling that hard-won wisdom into a new project to help other women avoid the same trap. Together, Toby and Lisa dig into the faith side of this too: the idea that 'no' isn't selfish — sometimes it's the most godly word you can say. They talk discernment, boundaries, and what it really means to steward your family and yourself well. In this episode you'll hear: - Why helping people who didn't ask can be just as draining as helping those who did - How burnout can quietly damage your closest relationships before you even notice - What it looks like to step back, reset, and find yourself again - Why 'no' can be an act of faith, not selfishness - Lisa's new project to help women recognize the signs before they hit the wall This one is raw, real, and full of truth. If you've ever felt stretched too thin trying to hold everyone else together — this conversation is for you.

Talk with Toby Ep 4 Jena Wiebe - From Athiest to Believer

For years, Jena Wiebe built her identity around hustle, achievement, independence, and success. She was outspoken, ambitious, and openly atheist; focused on building the life she thought would finally bring fulfillment. But eventually, the constant striving stopped working. In this deeply honest conversation, Jena shares what led her away from a life centered on money, status, and self reliance…and down a path of faith, peace, femininity, and a relationship with God she never expected to have. We talk about ambition, identity, burnout, modern culture, personal transformation, and what happens when your priorities and your heart begin to change. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the pressure to constantly achieve, prove yourself, or chase more… this conversation might really speak to you. 🎙️ Talk with Toby — Real Life. Real Faith.
