You’re Not Lazy—You’re Burned Out: Faith, Health & Identity

If you’ve been trying to “do better” but still feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck—this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Michal Carlock unpacks why burnout isn’t a motivation problem—it’s a health, identity, and support issue. Drawing from her background in critical care and her work as founder of Her Promise Circle, she explains why so many women don’t get help until crisis hits—and why preventative wellness and community support are essential.

Michal explores the power of resting and trusting God, how identity impacts health and purpose, and why women need accessible, faith-integrated resources to heal and grow—without shame.
