Whoever coined the phrase “tired as a mother” is right up there with the inventor of sliced bread and Velcro toddler shoes. It just makes sense. What DOESN’T make sense is continuing to live in the lie that rest isn’t for you - that you don’t deserve it, that you can’t access it, or that it needs to look a certain way to make sense or be worthwhile. Today’s episode will bring true HEALING rest to your heart and soul with bestselling author and speaker Becky Thompson. Becky doesn’t have a secret sauce (but spoiler alert: no one does!). What she DOES have is an invitation from Christ to let Him into the messy - because He’ll actually meet you there. Warning, this conversation may be balm to your soul. And if you’re a neurodivergent mama and/or have neurodivergent kiddos, this is *especially* important for you (read: us).
