How to Stop Hustling and Start Living with Godfidence with Misty Lakes

What if the key to greater peace, purpose, and confidence isn't doing more—but slowing down and putting God at the center? In this episode of the Wellness That Fits Podcast, I sit down with Christian life and business coach Misty Lakes to talk about overcoming burnout, breaking free from hustle culture, and creating a life that aligns with your faith and values. Misty shares her journey from chronic overwhelm and striving to building a successful coaching business rooted in purpose, boundaries, and trust in God's plan. We discuss why so many high-achieving women tie their identity to success, how stress impacts our health and nervous system, and practical ways to prioritize what matters most. You'll also hear Misty's powerful "Temple Tanks" framework for caring for your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. If you're feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or longing for more balance, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, strengthen your faith, and lead with confidence rooted in who God created you to be.
