This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist delivers a direct solo episode on calling, purpose, money, influence, obedience, and the stories God uses to serve other people. Based on a workshop she taught for Zeal, she walks through how to name what you really want, uncover the deeper reason behind it, and stop pretending that success, money, and impact do not matter. Instead, she shows how those desires can be brought under God’s direction and used to serve others.
Kerstin breaks down the difference between calling and purpose, the “five whys” exercise, how to share your story without oversharing, and why real influence starts with authenticity and service. She also gets practical about social media, platform-building, idolization, QVC, connection, and what it looks like to obey in the dark when God asks you to move before you can see the landing.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Cynthia Thurlow — nurse practitioner, menopause expert, speaker, and host of Everyday Wellness — for a direct conversation about perimenopause, menopause, gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, trauma, and what women actually need to understand about their bodies in midlife.
Cynthia explains why so many women hit their 40s and 50s feeling inflamed, anxious, exhausted, and unlike themselves. She breaks down the gut-hormone connection, why trauma and chronic stress can speed up ovarian aging, how progesterone and estrogen shifts affect anxiety and mood, and why the “wheels falling off the bus” in midlife may actually be a wake-up call to change what is no longer working.
Then the conversation gets highly practical: hormone replacement therapy, testosterone, cholesterol markers women should be asking for, intermittent fasting, muscle building, sleep, supplements, mold exposure, and the everyday habits that matter most. Cynthia also shares why women need to stop chasing every wellness trend and start majoring in the majors if they want real change.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Charlotte Gambill — author, speaker, mentor, and leadership coach — for a practical conversation about stillness, Sabbath, stress, health, grace, and what it really means to refill before pouring out.
Charlotte shares why so many women are running on empty, how ignoring the warning signs leads to burnout, and why being with God matters more than endlessly doing for God. She explains the difference between activity and presence, how stillness builds knowledge and peace, why nature helps reset perspective, and what it looks like to stop living with every tab open in your soul.
Then the conversation turns personal and practical: how to create real breathing room, what Sabbath should actually do for you, why sabbaticals fail when your mind never shuts off, how to recognize the rhythm of grace for your current season, and the health wake-up call that changed how Charlotte thinks about sleep, hormones, exercise, and stewardship of the body.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Doris Dalton — wellness physician, chiropractor, clean beauty founder, longtime QVC guest, and cancer survivor — for a candid conversation about illness, identity, beauty, toxic load, purpose, and the way life can redirect you when everything changes.
Dr. Dalton shares how a rare cancer diagnosis changed her body, her confidence, and her career, leading her to create products first for herself and then build one of QVC’s earliest clean beauty brands. She explains what clean beauty really means to her, why she believes U.S. standards fall short, and how she thinks about ingredients, toxins, talc, food quality, hormones, and the balance between doing your best and still living in the real world.
Then the conversation turns personal: how Doris recovered, why she believes closed doors can reveal purpose, what 35 years at QVC taught her about people and energy, and the habits that keep her grounded now. They also talk about sleep, ocean time, supplements, processed food, grounding, saunas, cold exposure, and why getting your feet in the grass may be one of the simplest nervous system resets there is.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Clint Steele — dementia prevention and brain regenerative specialist, founder of The Better Brain Company, and author of 101 Brain Hacks To Prevent and Even Reverse Dementia (Including Alzheimer’s) — for a deep conversation about brain health, chronic stress, lifestyle, memory, and the daily habits he believes shape cognitive decline or recovery.
Dr. Steele shares why he believes stress is the biggest threat to the brain, how sleep, breathing, movement, blood sugar, trauma, and thought patterns all affect cognitive health, and why he thinks balance and leg strength matter more than most people realize. Kerstin also opens up about her mother’s Alzheimer’s journey, her own APOE4 status, and the fear so many people carry when dementia runs in the family.
Then the conversation turns practical: what brain-supportive habits Dr. Steele recommends most, how to think about fasting, alcohol, supplements, grounding, red light, and cold exposure, and where someone should start if they feel stuck in chronic fight-or-flight. They also talk about gratitude, limiting beliefs, meditation, and why your brain may follow the story you keep telling yourself.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Lee Warren — board-certified neurosurgeon, Iraq war veteran, trauma survivor, and author of The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery — for a raw conversation about PTSD, grief, chronic stress, prayer, brain health, and the connection between neuroscience and faith.
Lee shares how serving in Iraq, performing 200 brain surgeries in a tent hospital, and surviving repeated mortar attacks left him with PTSD — and how the 2013 murder of his son Mitch forced him to confront what healing actually looks like. He explains the brain scan moment that changed his life, why he believes thoughts can reshape the brain and body, and how gratitude, breath, and attention can shift the nervous system out of panic.
Then the conversation turns practical and deeply personal: how feelings can mislead you, what chronic stress does to the brain over time, how breath work and the vagus nerve fit into anxiety recovery, when therapy and medication can help, and why meditative prayer may physically change the brain. Dr. Warren also shares his daily non-negotiables, what he does to stay grounded, and the hope he wants people to hold onto when life falls apart.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Rebecca Murray — founder of One By One and author of Embrace the Journey — for a raw conversation about child slavery, rescue work, faith, waiting, grief, obedience, and what it looks like to say yes to God in impossible situations.
Rebecca shares the moment that changed her life forever: meeting a little girl on the streets of Sierra Leone who believed a cheap pair of flip-flops meant she had been bought. That encounter became the face behind the statistics and launched a lifelong mission to rescue children from exploitation. Kerstin and Rebecca also talk about the 13-year waiting season between the calling and the assignment, the financial impossibility of building One By One’s first center in Kenya, and how God kept making a way when there was no clear path forward.
Then the conversation turns practical and deeply personal: how trafficking still works in the modern world, what regular people can actually do to fight it, why prayer and awareness matter, how to think about fast fashion and supply chains, and why obedience often matters even when you never get to see the outcome. Rebecca also opens up about her husband’s near-death medical crisis, the woman who handed her $50 at the exact moment she needed it, and the hope she wants listeners to hold onto in their own valley seasons.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with John Woods — founder of Upright Africa, medical humanitarian, and longtime orthopedic spine surgery first assist — for a powerful conversation about purpose, service, faith, and what it means to follow a calling into the hardest places on earth. John shares how a 2011 trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo changed the course of his life, why he left a successful career in Manhattan, and how his work has expanded into Zambia.
John explains what it looks like to bring modern medicine to some of the most underserved communities in Africa — from identifying surgical patients in remote villages to performing 20 to 30 surgeries a day with limited infrastructure. He opens up about surviving a near-fatal bout of malaria, the emotional toll of watching patients suffer when resources run out, and why he believes commitment and faith are what keep him going.
Then the conversation turns personal and practical: family sacrifice, raising a child while being gone much of the year, what poverty and front-line medicine have taught him about healthcare, how nutrition and whole foods help him function in the field, and how listeners can support Upright Africa’s mission. Kerstin also shares why this episode matters to anyone wrestling with calling, purpose, and whether it is time to take a leap of faith.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Meshali Mitchell — author of Restore, photographer, and storyteller — for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, healing, suffering, and what biblical restoration really looks like.
Meshali shares how childhood trauma, family addiction, divorce, abuse, perfectionism, and anxiety shaped her story, and why real healing began when she stopped painting over the cracks and let God repair the foundation.
She explains how renovating an 1800s farmhouse mirrored God’s work in her own heart, why counseling, Sabbath, community, boundaries, movement, and scripture all mattered, and how to wrestle honestly with the question of why God allows pain. Kerstin and Meshali also talk about waiting seasons, writing from a raw place, social media breaks, and why you cannot hide and heal at the same time.

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Katy Wells — decluttering expert, host of The Maximized Minimalist, and author of Making Home Your Happy Place — for a real conversation about clutter, stress, shopping, family habits, and why so many women feel triggered in their own homes.
Katy shares how she went from being a “no mom” who was buried by laundry, mess, and resentment to creating what she calls a holistic decluttering approach. She explains why clutter is often not just a stuff problem, but a root-cause problem tied to stress, identity, control, guilt, and the systems inside your home. Kerstin and Katy also talk about the difference between true clutter and “expected mess,” why language matters, and why your home may be set up to work against your family instead of for them.
Then the conversation turns practical: donation bins, daily resets, mudroom flow, kids’ rooms, family buy-in, shopping triggers, scarcity clutter, and the emotional reasons people keep buying or holding onto things. Katy also shares where overwhelmed listeners should begin, how to make progress without burnout, and why a good-enough home is better than chasing perfection.
