❓When was the last time you truly rested—without guilt?

Not scrolling, not multitasking—soul-deep rest. If that question made you uncomfortable, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and personal episode of Ascend and Ignite, Shannon Howard uncovers the invisible script that tells high-achieving women they must earn their rest. Through the real-life story of “Emily,” you’ll explore how our culture wires women to equate value with productivity—and how to begin the healing process.

✨ If slowing down makes you anxious...

✨ If rest feels like failure...

✨ If you feel like you're always doing but never being...

This is your invitation to reframe rest as strength, not weakness. Your peace is not a luxury—it’s your birthright.
