You were designed to create—but not how you think

You know you were designed to create. But what if the ache you feel isn't about missing your art? What if it's about managing your life instead of stewarding it? ➡️FIND 15 MIN FOR WHAT MATTERS: https://rachelfahrenbach.com/margin Episode summary For years, Rachel's weekly trip to the coffee shop to write was the only place she felt like herself. She thought she missed writing. Turns out, writing was the only place she was creating at all. Everything else in her life was in management mode: keeping chaos at bay, moving people around, checking things off. When she started approaching her whole life as stewardship—cultivating growth in her body, home, fields (work), and tables (community)—writing moved from Sabbath play to its proper place as Field to steward. In this episode, Rachel talks about the difference between managing your life and stewarding it, and why the ache you feel might be bigger than you think.
