Some days you wake up and feel… heavy. Not because anything is “wrong,” but because life has quietly worn you down. That’s exactly where I found myself on my last workday of the year - exhausted, emotionally flat, and scraping at the bottom of the barrel. In this episode, I share that personal story, including the unexpected little disasters that pushed me over the edge and the gentle reminder I received from God in the midst of it.

I also reflect on a book I read this year, The Garden Within by Dr Anita Phillips, which gave me beautiful language for sadness and weariness using the imagery of soil. Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to let our heaviness drain safely before God, why it’s okay to feel low, and how His invitation is always the same: come just as you are.

If you’re finishing the year tired, worn out, or quietly carrying too much, this episode is for you. I share the one thing that truly brings rest - and why you don’t have to “fix” yourself first to experience it.

Plus, I finish on a lighter note and share the books I’m hoping to read over summer - because even in rest, a little inspiration is always welcome!

I would love to connect with you!
