I’ve Stopped Wearing My Exhaustion as a Badge of Honor | Sadie Robertson Huff & Jess Connolly

As Sadie puts it, Jess Connolly is your new "best friend" who is here to encourage us ALL that being a woman in 2024 is exhausting. It is! And it's easy to start wearing the "I'm tired" badge with pride — even, like Jess, thinking we're more godly because of it! — when it's probably the last thing we should be doing. Jess talks about finding herself at her publisher's office pitching a book about being tired when she was as close to complete burnout and a breakdown as she'd ever been. But through doing a deep dive on what "tired" really means — and what God meant when He said, "Come to Me all who are weary" — she discovered a wealth of knowledge about how we navigate exhaustion and WHY we're all so tired (it's not always because we need sleep!).
