43 | Why I Rest so Much


Listen Later

Are you pouring from an empty cup, or do you ever wonder why you’re always exhausted after helping others? In this episode, I share my answer to the honest question: “Why do you take so much rest?” I reveal why my approach to rest isn’t about “doing nothing,” but protecting the potency of my gift and making sure I serve from a place of overflow. If you’ve struggled with burnout, compassion fatigue, or guilt about taking a break, you’ll find some unexpected permission here. Rest isn’t a luxury, it’s your secret advantage. Listen now to rethink everything you thought you knew about being truly present and powerful.

Topics Discussed:

  • How the gift I carry changes my need for restoration
  • The myth of pouring out from an empty cup and what pouring from the saucer really means
  • My wellness routines
  • Why listening to God is crucial for knowing when and how to rest
  • The difference between being tired and being completely depleted
  • How serving well doesn’t mean sacrificing your health

What if your rest is the missing ingredient to your purpose? You don’t have to empty yourself to help others. With intention and spiritual guidance, you can serve powerfully and remain full every single day.

This week's affirmation:

"I rest well."
