Hey girlfriend, have you ever prayed, God I need a break then someone offered help and you said, "No, I got it"?

You're not alone. In this honest girl-talk episode of Refill with Reka, we're talking superwoman syndrome, mom burnout, and how to take the cape off for real before the holidays without guilt.

Our power word for the week is ABIDE from John 15. Jesus as the vine, we as the branches. Apart from Him, we can't do anything. Reka walks you through 3 faith shifts to stop doing it all alone:

1. Tell the truth about your load — acknowledge what you're actually carrying
2. Make room to receive help — bring it to God before you say yes + invite specific support
3. Practice a pace you can sustain — establish a daily rhythm to remain in Christ

You'll learn the pause practice , how to pray before you say yes, ask for specific help, and how to let someone do it their way (towel-girlies, this one's for us).

Grab your journal for your

Refill Moment:

Where am I saying "I got it" when I really need support?

What responsibility needs a clear boundary so I can communicate it?

What small daily practice will help me remain close to God?

In John 12, Mary pours expensive perfume at the feet of Jesus while Judas criticizes what Jesus recognizes as worship. In this episode, Reka explores what Mary’s surrender teaches us about obedience, approval, and trusting God with the outcome.

You will learn how to:

• Identify what you have been protecting more than trusting God
• Separate wise counsel from opinions that delay your obedience
• Release the need to be understood by everyone in the room
• Use the P.O.U.R. framework to take your next faithful step

P.O.U.R.: Pause. Obey. Untie. Release.

Scripture: John 12

Reflection: “This week, I will pour out ______ by ______.”

Listen, reflect, and share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that surrender is never wasted.

In this episode of Refill with Reka: Girl Talk for the Soul, Reka shares how she gradually fell out of her spiritual routine and the small, practical choices helping her return to God without guilt, shame, or another overwhelming schedule.

We’ll explore the balance between Mary and Martha, what John 1 teaches us about choosing connection before completion, and how John 2 reminds us that time in God’s presence should lead to obedience.

Because putting God first doesn’t mean abandoning your responsibilities. It means refusing to allow your responsibilities to replace your relationship with Him.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to use the practical R.O.O.M. Framework to put God first again

The R.O.O.M. Framework

• R — Recognize the drift
• O — Order what matters first
• O — Obey one instruction
• M — Maintain a simple rhythm

Soft. Saved. Surrendered...and still powerful.
