Self-care isn’t selfish—and wellness doesn’t have to be complicated.

In this episode, we’re clearing the air on everything we’ve misunderstood about self-care: from guilt and luxury trends to the pressure of “doing it all right.” Through honest stories, biblical wisdom, and gentle encouragement, you’ll hear why real self-care is stewardship—not indulgence—and how caring for your body, mind, and spirit is part of honoring God.

If you’ve ever felt too tired for self-care or overwhelmed by wellness advice, this episode is your permission slip to start small, release perfection, and find rhythms that actually restore you.

Because you don’t honor God by running on empty—

you honor Him by showing up whole.

If everything feels like too much lately — your thoughts, your responsibilities, your emotions — this episode is for you.

Overwhelm isn’t a sign that you’re failing. It’s a signal that your system needs gentleness, space, and support — not shame.

In this episode of The Pert Plan, we talk about what overwhelm really is (emotionally, mentally, and spiritually), why your brain reacts the way it does, and how God meets you in the middle of it — not with pressure, but with peace.

If you’re tired of pushing through and ready to feel anchored again, press play.

You’re not weak.

You’re not behind.

You’re being rebuilt.

You’re not behind — you’re being built.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along by now — spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or physically — this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we look at a powerful and often-overlooked word in Genesis that changes how we understand growth, healing, and timing. Scripture tells us God didn’t rush His work — He built with intention. (He used the word Banah, which means to build.)

This episode is a reminder that God is not disappointed in your process. He’s not measuring you by speed. He’s shaping you layer by layer — with patience, wisdom, and love.

If you’re feeling stuck, late, or weary… take a breath.

You’re not behind. You’re being built.
