When Obedience Doesn't Look Like Success with Tania Brown

In this episode, Jill sits down with Tania Brown to talk about the tension between success and obedience, and what it looks like to step away from something that is working—even when you don't know what's coming next. Tania shares her own journey through major career transitions, including the moment she left a successful VP role to step into business ownership, and the difficult eighteen-month season that followed. Together, Jill and Tania talk about why letting go of success can be harder than leaving something we hate, what surrender really looks like, and why sometimes God asks us to take the next step before He's willing to show us the whole path. If you've ever felt God nudging you toward something different but struggled to let go of what feels safe, successful, or familiar, this conversation is for you.

There Has to Be More to Life Than This: Why Success Doesn't Always Lead to Fulfillment

You're successful. You've checked all the boxes. You're grateful. But deep down, you still feel restless . Something keeps quietly whispering ... "There has to be more to life than this." In this heartfelt conversation, Jill O'Boyle is joined by coach and Rooted & Real Co-Host, Stephanie Martino, to unpack why so many women reach a point where success no longer feels like enough. Together they explore the hidden cost of hustle culture, why burnout isn't always caused by doing too much, and how God often uses holy restlessness to invite us into deeper purpose, peace, and authentic identity. In this episode you'll discover: Why the feeling of "there has to be more" may actually be God's invitation, not selfish ambition. How to stop defining yourself by your titles, achievements, and productivity and begin living from your God-given identity. Practical encouragement to slow down, pay attention to God's nudges, and trust the season He has you in—even when you can't yet see what's growing beneath the surface. Whether you're navigating burnout, searching for purpose, longing for deeper faith, or simply craving more peace in your life, this conversation will encourage you to pause, breathe, and remember that God is still writing your story.

Burnout To Overflow: Building a Life that doesn't Drain You, but Fuels You with Brittany Wayman

In this powerful episode of Your Life, Your Story – Rise Up Podcast , Jill sits down with life coach, former educator, and ministry leader Brittany Wayman for a real and refreshing conversation about burnout, boundaries, and building a life that flows from overflow, not exhaustion. Both women know what it’s like to live in hustle mode. To serve, lead, achieve… and quietly feel drained, stretched thin, and spiritually dry. But what happens when God slows you down? What happens when burnout becomes the catalyst for transformation? Brittany shares her journey from full-time ministry during COVID to launching SoulCare Coaching, the fear she had to confront, the limiting beliefs she had to surrender, and the power of community speaking truth when doubt gets loud. Together, they unpack: Serving from overflow instead of depletion Setting healthy, holy boundaries — even in ministry The fear that tries to stop women from stepping into their calling What it looks like to boldly integrate faith and business This episode is a reminder that burnout is often a warning light, not a failure, and that obedience, even when uncomfortable, leads to freedom. If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels stretched thin, this conversation is for you. Learn More about Brittany.
