What if your leadership exhaustion isn’t from workload — but from misalignment?

In this powerful episode, Tanya Engesether explores the connection between integrity, authenticity, and sustainable leadership. Drawing from personal experience as a healthcare leader, she shares how people-pleasing, over-functioning, and fear-based decision-making quietly pull leaders out of alignment — and how returning to core values can restore clarity, peace, and energy.

You’ll learn why authenticity in leadership isn’t about oversharing or emotional transparency, but about alignment between your values, decisions, and boundaries. Tanya also shares the practical routines that help her stay grounded during difficult conversations and high-pressure moments, plus one simple question that can transform the way you lead.

If you're a professional woman in leadership who feels stretched thin, responsible for everyone, and quietly exhausted — this episode is your permission slip to lead from wholeness instead of pressure.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What authenticity really looks like in leadership

How misalignment leads to burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional exhaustion

Why “regulation before reaction” is key to grounded leadership

The role of boundaries in authentic leadership

How faith-informed reflection supports emotional steadiness

How to recognize when you’re leading from approval instead of integrity

The leadership question that brings instant clarity

Key Takeaway:
Authentic leadership isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what aligns.

I hope this episode blesses you!

This episode wasn’t planned — but it felt necessary.

There is so much unrest, division, and emotional intensity in our world right now. Many Christians are feeling the weight of it — wanting to respond with wisdom, compassion, and truth, yet feeling pulled into anxiety, confusion, and mental turmoil.

In this episode, I talk about the real battlefield: the mind.

We explore how the enemy often works through confusion, fear, and emotional activation — and how God’s Spirit leads with peace, clarity, and steady conviction. I share how to discern what is truly “of God” versus what may sound good emotionally but doesn’t align with His character or truth.

We talk about:

Why confusion and chaos are not from God

How the enemy mimics “good” by twisting truth

Why peace is a spiritual and emotional discernment tool

How to filter your thoughts and reactions in times of division

The difference between conviction and emotional pressure

Why you don’t have to carry the weight of the world

How to return to stillness and trust when your mind feels overwhelmed

This episode is an invitation to step out of the whirlwind and back into God’s presence — where peace guards the heart and mind.

You don’t have to win every argument.
You don’t have to carry every issue.
You can choose peace.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya

When life feels uncertain, we often crave clarity before we move. We want the full plan, reassurance, and confidence before taking action. But Scripture offers a different invitation—one rooted in trust, not certainty.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to take the next right step without overwhelm, urgency, or pressure to figure everything out. We explore how God often leads us incrementally, why small, faithful steps matter, and how both our faith and our nervous systems respond best to gentle forward movement.

In this episode, I share:

Why overwhelm often comes from trying to see too far ahead

What Scripture teaches about God lighting the next step, not the whole path

The difference between fear-driven action and faith-rooted movement

How nervous system regulation supports sustainable decision-making

Why obedience is often quiet, unspectacular, and deeply faithful

How to release the pressure to “get it right”

Gentle reflection questions to help discern your next step

You don’t need the whole plan.
You don’t need perfect clarity.
You just need to take the next right step—with trust.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya

Boundaries can feel uncomfortable—especially for women of faith who genuinely care, serve, and lead with heart. But what if boundaries aren’t a lack of love… what if they’re an act of stewardship?

In this episode, I explore why so many midlife women struggle with boundaries and emotional over-responsibility, and how Scripture invites us to protect what God has entrusted to us—our energy, our peace, and our capacity to lead well.

We talk about:

Why boundaries feel especially hard for faith-filled women

The difference between compassion and over-functioning

What Scripture says about personal responsibility and stewardship

How Jesus modeled discernment and boundaries—even with good needs

Why weak boundaries keep the nervous system stuck in stress mode

How midlife makes the cost of boundary-less living more obvious

Practical, calm ways to set boundaries without guilt or conflict

This episode is an invitation to release what was never yours to carry and to trust God with what you can’t control.

Protecting your energy isn’t selfish.
It’s faithful.

 

I hope this episode blesses you!

Tanya

We often equate strength with pushing through, staying busy, and holding it all together. But Scripture — and our bodies — tell a very different story.

In this episode, I explore why stillness is not weakness, but strength — spiritually, emotionally, and physically. We look at nervous system regulation not just as a wellness strategy, but as a spiritual practice, modeled by Jesus Himself.

For many midlife women — especially leaders, caregivers, and high-capacity women — stillness can feel uncomfortable. When we slow down, emotions surface, fatigue becomes obvious, and the illusion of control fades. But Scripture invites us to quietness and trust, not striving.

In this episode, I share:

Why stillness feels so difficult for anxious and over-functioning women

How Scripture repeatedly links quietness, rest, and trust with strength

What the nervous system is and how it responds to chronic stress

Why prayer and rest can feel hard when the body doesn’t feel safe

How Jesus modeled rhythms of withdrawal and restoration

Why midlife amplifies nervous system overload

How God’s peace “guards” our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:6–7, NIV)

Practical, real-life ways to practice stillness without adding pressure

This episode is an invitation — not an assignment — to let your body and soul experience safety in God’s presence again.

Stillness is not weakness.
It is where clarity, discernment, and peace are restored.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya
