The Power of Encouragement

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.

The Invisible Load is Real

In this episode of Team Not Tired, we talk about the invisible load so many women carry, the constant mental list of work, home, family, ministry, and everyone we’re trying to care for. We unpack why being overwhelmed is not always a time management problem, why Martha deserves more grace than we give her, and how Jesus lovingly redirects us back to the one necessary thing. If you’ve ever woken up already tired, this conversation will help you name what you’re carrying, release the shame, and take one practical step toward living a little lighter.

The Power of Encouragement

In this episode of Team Not Tired, we talk about the power of encouragement, why our words matter, and how one timely message can help someone keep going. We unpack the difference between giving encouragement and living for affirmation, then share practical ways to grow this “muscle” with intention, specificity, and consistency. If you want to be the kind of woman who makes people feel seen, strengthened, and able to stay in the race, this conversation will give you a simple next step to start today.
