In this episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, host Anna McLaughlin takes us on a transformative journey from feeling overwhelmed and short-tempered to embracing the confidence to say, “I can do this”. Get ready to dive into practical tips on emotional release, surrendering to God’s plan, and finding clarity in the midst of chaos. This episode is packed with actionable insights for anyone struggling with self-doubt or negative emotions, showing how God can transform our struggles into stories of victory.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Citations:

  • 2 Kings 19 (story of King Hezekiah)

  • Romans 8:28 (as usual, friends!)

  • C.S. Lewis quote from The Weight of Glory: “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

  • The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

  • The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld

  • The One Thing by Gary KellerThe ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results—is a book I mention in the episode. While the core principle is incredibly simple and effective, I personally feel that the author expands on this concept in a way that might make it seem more complicated than it needs to be. I encourage you to focus on the simplicity of the idea rather than getting lost in the length of the book!

About She Considers a Field… Podcast

The mission of the She Considers a Field… podcast is to encourage and equip homeschooling entrepreneurs to build a legacy of peace, purpose and JOY.

If you’re a homeschooling entrepreneur, you are uniquely equipped to advance the Kingdom of God – both deep, through educating and raising your children, and wide, through your business. But guilt, frustration and overwhelm can keep us stuck from walking in all the Father has for us. As a fellow homeschooling entrepreneur mama with almost a decade of practice in both spaces, I understand how soul-stretching these roles are. On this podcast, you’ll find compassionate, strategic talk about how to wear all the many hats WELL – from a place of fullness, not deficit. Whether you’re currently homeschooling and running a business or you’re simply wanting to be intentional about walking out your faith in the areas of family and finance, there’s something for you here.

This road of stewarding well the gifts God has given us isn’t always easy – but it’s always worth it.
