Is life so busy that you can’t imagine making time for a dream?
Whether you’re working full-time, part-time, or somewhere in between; navigating life with teenagers; caring for aging parents or small children; serving in your community or your church, there are countless obligations that compete for your valuable and limited time. It’s hard to imagine where you’d find “extra” time to write, pursue a business idea, or build the ministry you’ve been dreaming about.
IF YOU NEVER SEEM TO FIND TIME TO PRIORITIZE YOUR DREAM, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!
If you’re waiting to find time so you can get serious about a passion project, I’ve got to be honest with you: It won’t just happen. The daily demands of life will always stand in the way of your ambitions.
But what if a shift in perspective could help make space for what matters?
My guest Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast, and this episode is about her journey of seeing her imbalanced life, listening to the Lord, and finally stopping to do something about it.
Listen in and you’ll learn from practical examples about:
🚶♀️ How a morning routine can set the tone for a balanced and Christ-centered day,
✨ The importance of trusting God’s plans, especially in challenging times, and
💡 Prioritizing fun and self-care for a spiritually healthy and joyful life.
If you’ve ever struggled to maintain balance in your own life, Vivian’s story offers an encouraging alternative focused on three pillars: God first, self-care, and fun.
May this episode be an encouragement toward more balance in your daily life and a deepening relationship with the Lord.

MORE ABOUT VIVIAN:
Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast.
In 2020, Vivian re-dedicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish her control and submit to God’s will. Her newfound faith and commitment were immediately put to the test when she had to trust God to provide healing from stage 3 melanoma.
That “wilderness” season delivered her from a prideful spirit and set her free from her need to be perfect and in control – all of which had contributed to years of living an unbalanced lifestyle filled with work, self-inflicted stress, illness, depression, and anxiety.
Vivian is an Oklahoma native, a career professional, a military spouse, a step-mom to two adult kids, and a “Glammy” to five grandkids.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you, says the Lord.
Plans for peace and well being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
