In this episode of the Connected Mom podcast, host Becky Harling speaks with Eryn Lynum about the importance of rest for mothers, the concept of Sabbath, and how to incorporate rest into family life. They discuss Eryn's personal journey with Addison's disease and how it has shaped her understanding of rest. The conversation emphasizes the need for boundaries, the example of Jesus in finding rest, and the metaphor of the hummingbird to illustrate the balance between work and rest. Listeners are encouraged to find their own rhythms of rest and to abide in God's presence amidst the chaos of motherhood.
