EPISODE 23

Do you feel stuck in survival mode — spiritually drained, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to build habits that actually last into the New Year? Many Christian women enter January wanting change but already feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or hesitant to start again.

In this episode of Godly Habits, Brooklynn and Dr. Mason Howe redefine wellness through a biblical, whole-person lens — helping you move away from hustle, pressure, and shame, and toward sustainable habits rooted in grace.

You’ll learn how to approach New Year habits without becoming a “new you,” how holistic wellness supports your body, mind, spirit, and relationships, and how to build habits that fit your real life — not an ideal version of yourself.

This conversation offers clarity, peace, and encouragement for Christian women who want growth without burnout, and faith-aligned habits that heal over time.

⏱️ What You’ll Hear

• Why “New Year, New You” pressure often leads to burnout instead of lasting change
• A biblical, whole-person definition of wellness that brings clarity and peace
• How habits built from love — not hustle or shame — are more sustainable
• Why physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health are deeply connected
• Medical and real-life insight on why narrow views of health leave many women stuck

Quick Win Practice: The Holistic Habit Stack

In this episode, we introduce a simple way to build habits without starting from scratch: intentionally adding meaning to a habit you already have.

Instead of piling on more discipline, this practice helps you support multiple areas of wellness — physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual — using rhythms that already exist in your life.

The result is less pressure, more sustainability, and habits that actually fit your current season.
