In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, I interview Leanna Crawford, award-winning contemporary Christian singer-songwriter. We talk through her journey from a small farm town to Nashville, how she battles comparison, and how she stays healthy and grounded in the Lord on the go.

If you've ever felt worn down by comparison or struggled to carve out time to keep yourself healthy and connect to God in a busy season, this is the episode for you! Leanna pulls back the curtain and shows us a glimpse of what she does to prioritize wellness on tour. I know this conversation will inspire you too!

Here's what we cover:

• How she battles comparison by "singing for an audience of one" and remembering there's room at the table for everyone

• Leanna's morning routine for staying grounded, even on the road
• The no-gym, no-excuses way Leanna aims to stay fit on tour (it's less rigid than you think)
• How she battles depression and anxiety with a supportive community

We want you to walk away knowing that you don't have to choose between chasing your calling and staying grounded in the Lord. Whatever season or schedule you're in, remember that God's got you, and you've got this!

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you." Isaiah 26:3, ESV
