Five Things Christian Women Needs to Know About Overwhelm

If you feel overwhelmed despite doing everything “right,” snapping at your family, or quietly questioning your faith because stress feels unmanageable, this message is for you.

In this honest and compassionate video from Joyful & Present, Rochelle Walsh—Complex Trauma Therapist, Coach, and devoted Christian, speaks directly to women who appear capable and composed on the outside but feel frazzled and irritable behind closed doors. Rochelle gently reframes overwhelm, helping you understand that it isn’t a sign of weakness or spiritual failure, but a signal that your body is stuck in a chronic stress response.

You’ll learn:
Why overwhelm isn’t about a full calendar, but about what’s happening inside your nervous system
How high-functioning women often use busyness to manage big emotions rather than poor time management
Why you can’t “pray away” overwhelm when your body doesn’t feel safe enough to settle
How chronic stress creates disconnection, from your emotions and from God’s presence
Why working harder or trying to be more disciplined only deepens the stress cycle

Rochelle reminds you that overwhelm is not a character flaw or a lack of faith. When your nervous system is constantly activated, no amount of willpower, insight, or self-reliance can bring lasting peace. Healing requires a different approach, one rooted in self-compassion and consistent nervous system retraining.

If you’ve felt discouraged, guilty, or confused about why stress still has such a grip on your life, this video offers clarity, reassurance, and hope. Rochelle invites you to step out of survival mode and begin renewing both your mind and body so that calm, resilience, and emotional steadiness can return.

You are not failing, your body is asking for care, and a more joyful, present life is possible.
