    11. Let's Talk: Breaking Silence, Finding Freedom with Tonya Peck

    In this week’s episode of The Hey Rhona Podcast, Tonya shares her journey of finding freedom and purpose by breaking the silence on what she once kept hidden. Her story is a powerful reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s a path to healing and can be scary even in places that should feel safe. We talk about creating safe spaces as leaders, and how shame loses its power when we speak our truth. Tonya reminds us that sharing our story is a gift that creates a safe space for others to find freedom.  If you’ve ever wondered how to step into your own story and stop sitting in silence, here are three ways to start: Own it privately. Take time to write it down, pray through it, or reflect in a safe space. Naming what you’ve hidden begins the journey of release.Share it safely. Speak with someone you trust—a friend, mentor, or small group. Practicing vulnerability builds confidence. Reframe it as a gift. Your story can inspire and heal others. Speaking what was once secret allows connection and hope to flourish.🌱 Put It Into Practice Conversations bring clarity, but practice brings change. This week’s small step toward freedom: Spend 10 minutes writing one part of your story you’ve kept quiet. End with: “This is part of my story, but it does not define me. This story can dismantle the shame and bring freedom to others when I'm willing to share.”Share a small piece of it with a trusted person.Reflect on how your story could encourage or free someone else.Remember, your story matters, your voice carries hope, and you don’t walk this road alone. Keep living with courage and grace. Cheers to hope + healing,  Rhona Have a Question? Shoot me a text.

    Let's Talk: Pivots - when to stop, start, and stay with Ryan Rijken

    What do you do when you’re burning out—but you don’t want to lose the things that matter most, like faith and family? In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Rijken to talk about navigating burnout, shifting seasons of leadership, and holding onto what truly lasts. Ryan shares his journey from ministry into higher education, the toll of burnout on his life, and the lessons he’s learned about creating healthier rhythms for himself, his family, and his team. Together, we unpack what it looks like to step away without giving up, and how to protect your soul in the process. If you’re in a season where the weight feels heavy and you’re craving change, here are 3 tools to help you make a shift without letting go of what matters most: Redefine Success – Instead of measuring your worth by output or busyness, ask: Does this choice align with my faith and values? This keeps your focus on what matters most, not just what demands the most.Set Rhythms, Not Just Boundaries – Boundaries are important, but rhythms create sustainable patterns. Protect your time for rest, worship, and family by building it into your calendar as non-negotiable, not optional.Find Safe Community – Burnout grows in isolation. Invite mentors, counselors, or trusted friends into your journey. Let them remind you of your purpose when exhaustion makes you forget.Ryan’s story reminds us that seasons of transition don’t mean failure—they can actually be an invitation to deeper faith, healthier leadership, and a more grounded life. 🛠 Stop–Start–Stay Check-In:  When you feel burnout creeping in, pause and ask yourself three questions: Stop – What’s one thing draining me right now that I can stop doing, even temporarily?Start – What’s one small practice I can start that restores me (prayer, rest, walk, laughter with family)?Stay – What’s one thing that truly matters—faith, family, calling—that I will stay committed to no matter the pressure?Write these three down each week (or talk them out with a friend) and use them to guide your choices. It’s a simple reset that helps you shift without losing what matters most. Ryan's Recommended Resources: Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools by Tyler StatonThe Seven Primal Questions framework by Mike Foster✨ If you’re walking through burnout, or feel stuck after burnout - this conversation will give you hope that you don’t have to choose between leading well and protecting what you love most.
