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.

Daily time in Scripture isn’t about checking a box—it’s about being formed. In this episode of The Pert Plan, we explore how consistent time in God’s Word brings wisdom, discernment, emotional steadiness, and clarity of purpose.

You’ll learn why Scripture renews the mind, anchors the heart, and gently shapes your daily life—and I’ll share a few trusted devotional tools that can help you stay grounded in the Word. I also share my personal (and tearful) journey with the Bible.

If you’ve been feeling scattered, weary, or spiritually dry, this episode is a calm invitation to return to truth and start again.

Episode 3: Who’s Behind The Pert Plan™? 🎙️

SWOOSH! Meet the voice behind The Pert Plan™. I’m a wife, mom, and licensed professional counselor sharing faith, mindset, wellness, and encouragement for real life. In this episode, I share my story, why this podcast exists, and what you can expect from future episodes—short, practical, faith-filled takeaways with a little humor and hope.

Hudson Taylor:

“Thus the critical moments of life come with little warning, silently as the sunrise often, shedding Divine illumination upon things unseen. All unexpectedly, one day, we see as we have never seen before. Duty becomes plain in the light of eternity. Then we have reached a turning-point indeed, and everything depends upon the response of the soul to the claims and promises of God." (Dr. & Mrs. Howard Taylor in the biography of his father Hudson Taylor entitled, "Growth of a Soul.")
