About this episode
In this episode of Happy, Healthy, Whole, and Rich, Tina Brinkley Potts continues Phase 2 of the Sacred Rebuke series — Tap Out to Tap In — with a powerful reminder: stepping back is not losing — it’s choosing. We live in a culture that glorifies busyness and treats rest like weakness. But history and scripture prove the opposite. Moses, Elijah, and Jesus all retreated before their greatest moments of revelation and strength. Harriet Tubman paused in stillness before leading people to freedom. Retreat was not abandonment — it was alignment. Through scripture, metaphysics, and her own lived wisdom, Tina offers a sacred rebuke: ignoring the call to retreat isn’t strength, it’s self-betrayal. Honoring retreat is sovereignty. This episode will give you permission to pause, to restore, and to trust that retreat is not defeat — it’s the birthplace of clarity, renewal, and power. If this episode spoke to you, don’t just hear it — honor it. Journal the prompts. Notice where your spirit is calling for pause. Give yourself permission to retreat without guilt. And if you want to walk with a community that understands retreat isn’t quitting but a sacred strategy for alignment, join us at happyhealthywholerich.com. Together, we’re tapping out of busyness so we can tap into sovereignty.
