I had the absolute joy of sitting down with my dear friend Aimée Walker from
during their in-person Overflow day retreat in Auckland, New Zealand, for a deeply honest and hope-filled conversation. Together, we tackled some of the biggest questions about staying connected to Jesus and living from a place of overflow—even in seasons of grief, busyness, or spiritual dryness.Aimée and I share the practices that keep us anchored, how we discern God’s direction when life is noisy, and what it really looks like to experience intimacy with Him when everything else feels demanding or depleted. We also dive into practical ways to revive your relationship with Jesus, cultivate joy during loss, and take first steps when you feel overwhelmed.
What does “overflow” look like for you in this season—and how can you pursue it without adding pressure?
Whether you’re in a full-on season of grief, burnout, or spiritual hunger, this conversation will remind you that God meets you exactly where you are—and that His presence is the well that never runs dry.
We talk about:
✨ Favourite books, accounts, and sources of life-giving inspiration
✨ Small beginning steps to move from overwhelm to overflow
✨ How to reconnect with Jesus after a season of spiritual dryness
✨ Trusting God when His answers and direction look different than we expected
✨ Navigating seasons of grief and still experiencing joy
✨ Practical ways to discern when to keep going or when to pivot
✨ Strengthening yourself in the Lord when your environment feels lacking
PS: You’ll notice this episode ends a little abruptly… my phone battery died mid-conversation! #reallife
