If you’re constantly taking care of everyone else but finding yourself overwhelmed, overthinking, or running on empty, this conversation with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Alison Cook is for you. Heather and Dr. Alison talk about survival mode, nervous-system regulation, healthy boundaries, difficult emotions, and the difference between operating from love versus fear. Together, they explore how compassion, not criticism, can help us become a safe place for ourselves with God, and offer simple practices for slowing down, grounding ourselves, and inviting God into the moments when life feels overwhelming. Heather also shares the heart behind her upcoming book, The Sunday Reset, and the importance of creating rhythms that help us return to what matters most.
