189 | The Weight You Were Never Meant to Carry Leadership, Burnout & Grace with Devon McCarley

As women, we lead in our homes, careers, businesses, ministries, and communities. But somewhere along the way, the desire to serve well can become the pressure to do everything. In this episode of Her Renewed Mind, Dr. Candice Johnson sits down with John Maxwell Team Coach, Trainer & Speaker, and Entrepreneur Devon McCarley, founder of Back on Brand, for an honest, faith-filled conversation about leadership, burnout, obedience, and learning to lead from a place of grace. After more than 20 years in demanding leadership roles, Devon found herself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted. She shares how God led her to release responsibilities, relocate, rediscover rest, and embrace a new season of purpose. In this conversation, you'll discover: -Why women leaders often carry more than they're assigned. -How burnout can affect your mind, body, emotions, and spiritual life. -The difference between being called to something and being called to do everything. -Why learning to say no is essential to healthy leadership. -How to release the pressure to prove yourself and embrace your identity as God's daughter. -What it looks like to partner with God through prayer, planning, and obedience. One powerful reminder from Devon: "You do not always have to say yes. No is a complete sentence." You don't have to earn your worth through constant productivity. You can lead, serve, and fulfill your assignment without carrying every weight. It's time to renew your mind around what God has actually called you to carry.
