View descriptionShare

Have you ever reached a moment when your mind just won’t slow down — circling a decision, a question, or an unknown you can’t yet resolve?

In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a personal moment from the days leading up to Christmas — a season when decision fatigue set in and overthinking overwhelmed.

Through Scripture, emotional wellness insights, and a gentle soul care practice, this episode explores why uncertainty can hijack our nervous systems — and how God invites us into rest, even when answers aren’t yet clear.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, mentally tired, or caught in decision-fatigue this Christmas, this episode offers a compassionate path back to calm.

Key Takeaways

  • Why you can’t think your way out of anxiety but you can soothe your body
  • A simple soul care practice to help you step out of your head and into rest
  • How choosing “small” can become an act of faith and freedom.
