When the Nudge Won’t Let Go: Trusting the Pull Toward More with Nakeisha Washington

What happens when the life you’ve built starts to feel… off? In this episode, I sit down with Nakeisha Washington, who shares her journey from 25 years in education to stepping into something completely new, all because she chose to listen to a quiet nudge that wouldn’t go away. What started as a moment with her daughter turned into a bigger vision… but not without fear, doubt, and some hard in-between seasons.

Burnout To Overflow: Building a Life that doesn't Drain You, but Fuels You with Brittany Wayman

In this powerful episode of Your Life, Your Story – Rise Up Podcast, Jill sits down with life coach, former educator, and ministry leader Brittany Wayman [https://www.soulcarecoachingllc.com/] for a real and refreshing conversation about burnout, boundaries, and building a life that flows from overflow, not exhaustion. Both women know what it’s like to live in hustle mode. To serve, lead, achieve… and quietly feel drained, stretched thin, and spiritually dry. But what happens when God slows you down? What happens when burnout becomes the catalyst for transformation? Brittany shares her journey from full-time ministry during COVID to launching SoulCare Coaching, the fear she had to confront, the limiting beliefs she had to surrender, and the power of community speaking truth when doubt gets loud. Together, they unpack: * Serving from overflow instead of depletion * Setting healthy, holy boundaries — even in ministry * The fear that tries to stop women from stepping into their calling * What it looks like to boldly integrate faith and business This episode is a reminder that burnout is often a warning light, not a failure, and that obedience, even when uncomfortable, leads to freedom. If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels stretched thin, this conversation is for you. Learn More about Brittany.
