Today's conversation is one I'm pulling from the archives. I recorded this interview with Alyssa Bethke quite a while ago, and as I was looking through past episodes, it felt especially worth bringing back. At the time, I had not yet read her book, When Doing It All Is Undoing You. But after revisiting this conversation, I've added it back to my summer readinglist because the message feels just as timely today as it did then.
If you've ever felt the pressure to keep all the plates spinning, to do more, be more, achieve more, or somehow hold everything together, I think you'll appreciate Alyssa'sperspective. We talk about motherhood, identity, striving, rest, and the freedom that comes when we stop measuring our worth by our productivity.
Whether you're folding laundry, driving kids to activities, working in the garden, or taking a quiet walk, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember that your value was never found in how much you accomplish.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Alyssa Bethke.
