Feeling burned out no matter how much "self-care" you try? You’re not alone. The world teaches that rest comes from pampering, alone time, or getting away—but Jesus showed us a different way (though alone time and me-time definitely have their place... here's where the difference lies:).
In this episode, I sit down with Becky Thompson, author of Healing Rest and Midnight Mom Devotional, to unpack what true rest in God’s presence looks like.
We’ll cover:
✔️ Why Jesus never burned out (and what we can learn from His lifestyle)
✔️ The reason traditional self-care doesn’t actually restore us in the way we deeply need.
✔️ A simple mindset shift that will help you feel lighter today
✔️ A 3-minute daily practice to reset your spirit and find peace—even in chaos
💡 Whether you're a busy mom, a working woman, or just someone craving peace, this episode is for you.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
