Broken & Beautiful Podcast

In a culture that prizes hustle and constant productivity, rest can feel like a luxury few can afford—especially for women juggling caregiving, careers and much more. In this opening episode of this podcast series, we explore why intentional retreat is not just a good idea—it’s a spiritual necessity.

Anchored in the gentle invitation of Matthew 11:28-30—“Come to me, all you who are weary…”—we’ll reflect on the biblical call to step away, slow down, and find rest for our souls. Discover how retreating creates sacred space to reconnect with God, reclaim your peace, and guard against burnout. Join us as we unpack the transformative power of rest and why saying “yes” to renewal may be one of the most radical acts of self-care and faith.

This episode challenges us to think beyond the here and now and live with a heart that seeks to store up treasures in eternity.
