Having been through burnout herself, Vivian wrote her book and companion journal as a resource for women confronting the pressures of modern life.
The devotional offers spiritual reflections, while the journal allows for an introspective journey deeper into the causes of burnout, encouraging self-assessment and personal growth. Vivian's openness about her own stuggles and honest journaling encourages listeners to be vulnerable with their own experiences.
Vivian also shares her unexpected journey into podcasting, which began as a platform-building exercise and evolved into a space for conversation and connection. Through her podcast, “Juggling Life, Finding Balance,” Vivian has reached a broad audience, allowing her to share her insights while hosting varied voices — including men — to provide a well-rounded perspective on burnout.
Throughout this episode, Vivian reflects on the importance of discerning your personal path rather than following in others' footsteps. Take a step back, listen to the Holy Spirit, and then align your actions in the direction you're led.
