Today I am sharing part 2 of my REST series on the podcast! (If you missed it, you can listen to part one HERE!)

Has anyone ever told you that you need to rest by “turning your brain off?”.....

Have you ever felt like the part of your brain that allows you to dream or be inspired isn’t accessible anymore? 

Have you ever struggled with being STUCK? If so, this episode is for you!

In today’s episode you’ll hear me walking through the beginning conversation of “What is REST” and what have I believed about it that has kept me stuck in some cycles that aren’t serving me well anymore! 

It is definitely out of the norm to slow down…. It’s also out of the norm to TALK THROUGH rest as an entrepreneur because honestly, if you’re wired like me, making time to even listen to a podcast about making time for rest can seem like a waste of time!!!

As I continue to share more about the path we've been on, there have been a lot of questions! I wanted to answer some of those questions and try to tie a bow on this long story that can hardly fit into 3 podcast episodes. If you're in the middle of a health journey, or advocating for your kids, I hope this episode encourages you!

This episode isn't light hearted or easy to listen to. I would go so far as to say, it's a bit painful to listen to but it's also powerful.  If you struggle to make sense of how pain can be so present in the world where there is also a good God who loves us, this episode is worth listening to. We lost a child 6 years ago to complications from Down Syndrome. His story has changed thousands of lives and transformed us as parents and believers. This is my disclaimer:  If you're looking for a photography how-to podcast, this isn't it. There are other episodes on those business topics! However, if you're looking to understand more about living in purpose and meaning in the midst of pain, I would dive in!

The other week I shared a very vulnerable podcast about the latest health journey we are on as a family, specifically for our son! 

If you would like to listen to part one, you can do so HERE! 

I was blown away by the response and I am so thankful for all of you who shared resources, reached out, and asked questions. The amount of mommas out there who are also searching for answers is shocking. It’s equal parts encouraging to not be alone and also startling that so many people are at a loss for answers and real solutions. 

From makeup to dishwasher detergent to saying goodbye to standard sippy cups and food dyes….  I try to hit on everything but there is honestly a lot to remember. I JUST realized I didn’t even mention in the episode that we only use Cast Iron and Stainless Steel cookware now! 

Like I said, it’s a lot to keep straight and I probably forgot other changes I should have mentioned but this is a JOURNEY and I’m willing to keep sharing as we keep growing through it if you all are up for it!

Today’s episode is a little different than normal.

Actually, it’s VERY different from normal. I sat down in my studio to record this without a plan or an outline or really even a clear vision for what I wanted to share…..

I ended up sharing the raw, honest journey we have been on the past 8-10 months with a health journey with one of our children and recently, my own health hurdles as well. Consider this an “intro” because there are so many things I didn’t get to in this episode. This paints a clearer picture of our life this last year and sets the stage to share more as we continue on this journey.

The goal of this episode is to share our reality in hopes that it will be an encouragement to other parents and other Enneagram 3’s who may operate like me and need a shift as well! :)
