Are you constantly exhausted but still feel guilty for slowing down? You’re not alone, Mama. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms podcast, we’re diving deep into the hidden burden so many Christian moms carry: mom guilt around rest.
If you’ve ever sat down for a break—only to feel anxious, unproductive, or even ashamed—you’ll want to lean in to this honest, grace-filled conversation. We talk about why rest feels so hard, where the guilt really comes from, and what God actually says about your worth, your limits, and your need for rest.
Through Scripture, relatable stories, and practical steps, you’ll be reminded that:
-
Burnout isn’t holy.
-
Exhaustion isn’t proof of your love.
-
And rest isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.
You’ll also walk away with 3 simple ways to begin embracing soul rest without guilt, rooted in God’s truth and aligned with your everyday mom life.
In this episode, we cover:
-
Why Christian moms feel guilty for resting
-
How mom guilt steals peace and creates burnout
-
The spiritual truth about rest, productivity, and God’s design
-
Jesus’ example of slowing down—even when needs were urgent
-
How to reframe rest as worship and obedience
-
3 practical, faith-based ways to start resting without guilt
This episode is perfect for you if:
-
You’re a Christian working mom who’s running on empty
-
You feel pressure to keep doing more, even when you’re exhausted
-
You struggle to rest without hearing that critical inner voice
-
You’re longing for God-centered peace in your daily rhythm

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
