About this listen

Many of us carry more than we realize.

Over time responsibilities, commitments, possessions, and expectations slowly fill our “backpack” until one day the weight begins to feel heavier than it should.

In this episode of Courageous Retirement, Vona shares a recent personal experience simplifying her website—and the surprising freedom that came from letting go of something that had quietly become too heavy.

Through this simple change, she discovered a deeper lesson about life, retirement, and the invitation Jesus offers in Matthew 11:

"Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Rest doesn’t mean giving up on the dreams God has placed on our hearts. It means releasing the stress of carrying what was never meant to be ours or was never meant to be a burden forever.

If you're entering your best season of life, this episode may inspire you to take a look inside your own backpack and ask a simple question:

What might God be inviting you to simplify?
