Ep 231. How I’m Rewiring My Relationship with Busy Through Sabbath

24 minutes

Have you ever felt so comfortable with exhaustion that you can't even enjoy a break when it's given to you?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this special episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm doing something different. No perfect script. No polished intro. Just me, talking to you like I would talk to my best friend, sharing what I'm learning in real time about something that's completely shifting how I live.

I just practiced my first Sabbath. And I had to tell you about it.

This unscripted conversation will help you see that Sabbath isn't impossible or outdated, and with God's guidance, you can step into the rest He designed for you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Why I'm diving into Sabbath after a year of pursuing rest and working with a nervous system coach

The powerful truth that Sabbath is not a suggestion, it's a command from God (Exodus 20:8-10)

What "trusting in the sixth day provision" means and why it changes everything about how we approach rest

How the Be Present app has been a game-changer for setting boundaries with my phone

The spiritual battle for rest and why Satan wants to keep us enslaved to busyness

Your invitation to start practicing Sabbath this week (it doesn't have to be perfect, just start)
