S4 Jaleesa McCreary | Rest As Seasons Change

/

Do you feel like the things you normally do to rest are less effective than they used to be? It's possible that you've entered a new season in your life and need to adapt how you rest. In this episode with my friend Jaleesa McCreary, she talks about how she's changed the way she rests as she's transitioned through seasons both in motherhood and professionally. She also addresses the anxiety some of us feel when we consider stopping to rest and the shame that can accompany it, as well as why silence is vital to get acquainted with the Holy Spirit and recognize God's voice.

S4 Becky Page | Rest And Trust

/

Flower Mommas, I am so excited to share this conversation with my friend Becky Page about the connection between rest and trust. Becky and her family have been in a waiting season for the past 4 years after uprooting their lives with nothing but a word from God that good things were ahead if they would trust Him with the outcome. Since the move, her perspective on rest has changed as she's grown closer to God and discovered that true rest isn't self-care, but a heart posture of faith in the Lord.

S4 Jenn Jett Barrett | Soul Rest

/

I've spent this whole season mentioning Camp Well and bringing on guests that I met there when I attended earlier this year. In this episode, I'm so excited to welcome back the founder of Camp Well, Jenn Jett Barrett. In our conversation, she shares how rest is deeper than just treating yourself, it means unpacking the lies we believe to truly stop our worry, wanting, and work to spend time with the Lord. She also chats about how finding her value in God instead of her accomplishments has restored her, why being silent requires practice, and how boundaries function as part of good stewardship of ourselves and the people closest to us.

S4 Nicole Zasowski | What If It's Wonderful?

/

This season I've been focusing on the topic of rest, but with the Flower Momma Box subscription opening for the last time in 2022, I wanted to welcome back my friend Nicole Zasowski to talk about creating a rhythm of celebration.

In this episode, she shares why she thinks it's difficult to celebrate our gifts and accomplishments, why we often think of celebration as frivolous or unimportant, and why thankfulness and gratitude correlate so closely with celebration. She also explains how creating a rhythm of celebration in your home reflects God's grace in our lives and what our kids can learn from setting an example of doing something for ourselves independent of accomplishments.

I'll be including a copy of "What If It’s Wonderful?" in the August Flower Momma Boxes and we'll start a book study with the Flower Momma community starting August 22, 2022. If you'd like to join, text "book" to 940-242-3023.

In this conversation, she shares how tapping into her mom community has allowed her to help another mom while giving her time to focus on her business, why she has made Sunday Funday a priority for her family, and how she's managed to find some silence in the midst of her hectic schedule.

S4 Fiona Custer | Forced {Allowed} Rest

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to another one of my Camp Well friends, Fiona Custer! During our conversation, she shares about how rest has looked different in various seasons of her life. She also gives some practical ways she's been able to continue to make rest an intentional practice in her life and offers encouragement for mommas who need a reset.

S4 Kelly Judd | Rest Is Not A Weakness

In busy seasons (and let's be honest, when is there ever a non-busy season?), taking time to rest can feel like failure. But not only is rest not a weakness, it's also what renews us to do the good work God has called us to. In this episode, I'm chatting with my friend Kelly Judd about how she has practiced intentional rest with her family, what she's done to create calm spaces at their home, and how she knows when her family is resting enough to be renewed.
