You hit the milestone, check the box, celebrate for five minutes—and then the emptiness creeps back in. The finish line just keeps moving farther away.

If success has left you exhausted, it’s because you’ve been chasing the wrong version of it.

In this episode of The Obedient Rebel Podcast, Allyson Chavez unpacks what it means to be an Obedient Rebel: Obey God’s laws. Break your rules. Calm, clarity, and confidence.

You’ll hear the unspoken rules that keep leaders trapped in exhaustion—and the simple shift that breaks the cycle.

Walk away with a practical tool you can use today to stop chasing and start receiving, and the reminder that God’s version of success restores instead of drains.
