Key Lessons Learned From Women in Ministry: EPISODE 100

<h2>Let's celebrate!</h2> <p>This is episode 100 of the Women in Ministry United Podcast!</p> <p> </p> <p>From the launch in March 2019, the journey has been filled with twists and turns. If you've been with me for a lengthy period of time, you know that this began as the Giving Up Normal Podcast where we focused on giving up the normal things that are hurting your soul so that you could live as the person God created you to be. </p> <p> </p> <p>While that heartbeat continues, God's call for my leadership got more specific and as my ministry focused on helping women in ministry break free from the cycles of busyness and overwhelm and create healthy rhythms and boundaries...the name of the podcast changed to simply, The Women in Ministry United Podcast!</p> <p> </p> <p>Today, as we celebrate the 100th episode, I share with you 4 lessons that I've learned from you, the community, as you share your experience creating and maintaining healthy rhythms and boundaries in your life and leadership. Exposing these common realities will help us support one another so that we can lead out of the abundant life Jesus wants to give us all!</p> <p> </p> <h2>4 Lessons Learned</h2> <h3><strong>1.
