Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

267 | Why Successful Christian Women Burn Out: Health Warning Signs You Miss, with Amy Loden Tiffany
Q: What practical steps can busy women take to protect their health and prevent burnout?
Incorporate regular movement after meals, consider body composition testing (DEXA or similar), prioritize high-quality sleep, and focus on sustainable routines that fit into daily life rather than overhauls. Also, cultivate the mindset that regeneration is possible within one's current constraints.
267 | Why Successful Christian Women Burn Out: Health Warning Signs You Miss, with Amy Loden Tiffany
Q: What early signs of burnout should listeners watch for, especially among high-achieving moms?
Early signs include sleep disturbances with difficulty staying asleep, persistent thoughts about tasks, and subtle metabolic changes like rising cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting glucose over years, plus increasing waist circumference. These often precede more obvious burnout if not addressed.
267 | Why Successful Christian Women Burn Out: Health Warning Signs You Miss, with Amy Loden Tiffany
Q: Why did you choose to become a physician, and did your faith influence that path?
Growing up in a Christian family and being drawn to science, she felt a calling to help others. Her experience shadowing a woman cardiologist revealed the mystery of heart disease and the desire to prevent it at its roots, while her faith provided a framework for serving patients with compassion.
269 | Why Pushing Harder Isn’t Working: Lead with God’s Direction Instead. With Leslie Nunn Reed
Q: What was your journey with Christ like, and how did it shape your vocational path?
Leslie describes a long, evolving faith journey—from a desire to be a doctor or counselor, through college and campus ministry, to a calling in organizational change where faith and secular expertise intersect. She explains how listening to the Holy Spirit and embracing creative gifts led to founding Nunn Communications and embracing the 'midwife' metaphor for birthing ideas, as well as integrating spiritual care with strategic consulting.
265 | Anxiety in High-Achieving Women: A Christian & Science-Based Approach, with Dr. Robyn Graham
Q: Can you explain the therapy-vs-coaching line for someone seeking help?
If anxiety severely affects functioning or there is depression or hopelessness, seek medical or therapeutic help; coaching complements therapy by guiding actionable steps forward.
