This is StRest! Meet Kim Gravel—QVC powerhouse, entrepreneur, wife, and Southern belle with a gift for telling the unvarnished truth. In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Kim for a candid conversation about faith-first living, emotional health, and why loving others is simpler (and harder) than we think. From navigating a son’s high-school graduation to fighting Bell’s palsy on live TV, Kim unpacks morning disciplines, food battles, purpose-driven business, and the messy grace of motherhood. If you’re juggling everyone’s needs but your own, craving peace in an over-scheduled life, or wondering how Kingdom purpose and prosperity coexist—this one’s for you.

Major Themes & Concepts

✅ Morning quiet time: setting mind on truth before chaos

✅ Emotional eating vs. mindset change—calories start in the head

✅ Love others as you are loved—purpose is always people-centric

✅ Authenticity over polish—dropping the “casing” around the message

✅ Balancing caregiving, boundaries, and self-worth

✅ Stress as imagined mountains; talk it out, lighten the load

✅ Massage and parasympathetic reset—why touch therapy matters

✅ Success without soul-tether: prosperity follows purpose, not vice versa

✅ Finding stillness to hear God’s participation, presence, and peace
