Finding a Sustainable Pace with Jo Saxton
What if burnout is not only about how much you are doing, but also about the fears, expectations, and beliefs driving you? On today’s episode of Moving Forward, Melissa Harrison talks with author, speaker, and leadership coach Jo Saxton about becoming an unburdened leader. Jo explains why meaningful rest requires more than taking an occasional break. It begins by examining the internal messages, external pressures, and responsibilities shaping how you work, lead, and spend your time. Jo also shares practical ways to audit your life, identify what only you can do, and release responsibilities that do not need to remain yours. She encourages women to protect the relationships, creativity, rest, and joy that restore them rather than treating those things as optional. Their conversation also explores what Scripture says about women as image bearers and leaders. Jo challenges Christian women to stop minimizing their God-given gifts, find communities that celebrate rather than merely tolerate them, and approach the workplace as an important part of their calling. What You’ll Learn How internal beliefs and external pressures contribute to burnout Why rest and identity are closely connected How to audit your responsibilities and decide what to release Why life-giving relationships, creativity, and joy are essential for leaders What it means for women to lead as image bearers of God How to stop minimizing your leadership gifts and expertise Why Christian women need communities that see, support, and challenge them ==================== Find out more about 4word 👉
