Stress, anxiety, fatigue can keep us in a state of EXHAUSTION. Over time, this leads to what I call High-Functioning Fatigue. Oftentimes, women feeling this way will also feel like they are going through a form of spiritual warfare or attack. This is so common cuz Satan loves to keep God's daughter's sad, sick and stuck.   I will be sharing 2 very simple, doable and calming actions you can take today, to praise & pray your way through High-Functioning Fatigue and any type of spiritual warfare you may be going through.  If you're thinking, ok but what IS High-Functioning Fatigue, Go to ep. 277 where I talk about HFF and your adrenal risk. Women in this midlife season who are notorious for putting their own health and wellness on the back burner for years, are really struggling with exhaustion, brain fog and that overwhelmingness of not feeling like themselves… and they explain it away with comments like: it's menopause or it's my job or it's my age or….I just need a vacation or.. (Fill in the blank…) You are pushing through your tiredness, pushing through and getting things done, and continue to say to yourself: “I'll focus on my health when xyz gets done.” I consider HHF that underlying tiredness you can't shake, no matter how much you rest, coupled with a mental fog that makes even simple decisions feel overwhelming. You might look put-together on the outside, but on the inside, you're struggling to keep up, feeling like you're barely holding it together while wondering why you're so exhausted all the time. Sound like you?  In this episode, I share 2 ways you can fight back through whatever spiritual attack or warfare you are going through right now… and always... and help you get starting to heal and recover God's way from High-Functioning Fatigue.

Following graduation, he was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 1984 NFL Draft and was a part of their 1985 team that won Super Bowl XX. Rivera spent nine years playing for the Bears and retired after the 1992 season.
