A Called & Curious conversation where faith, story, and brain science intertwine to help you live from the overflow.

Hey friend… welcome back to the Called & Curious Podcast — where there’s no pressure, no performance, just peace.

Today’s episode is for every woman who has whispered the sacred words:

“I think I just need a day off.”
“If I could just get ONE night of sleep…”
“Honestly, at this point I just need a spa day… or maybe a medically-induced coma.”

If that’s you?
This is your episode.

Because today we’re talking about something your body tries to tell you every day:

✨ Rest doesn’t always rest us. ✨

And it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s because:

• your nervous system is tired
• your stress cycles are incomplete
• your emotions are louder than your logic
• your soul is craving something deeper than a bubble bath

Inside this episode, we explore:

💛 Why your “day off” or “date night” didn’t fix you
(and yes, you’ll hear my ridiculous but painfully relatable date-night story)

💛 Why your body stays in fight-or-flight even when you try to rest

💛 How stress cycles work — and why they must be completed

💛 The reason your brain literally cannot receive spiritual truth while your body is in a stress response

💛 The difference between rest and regulation

💛 A 90-second interactive reset you can do with me right on the episode

💛 What Scripture says about real rest — the embodied kind that actually restores your soul

💛 How God meets you right in the middle of your exhaustion, not after you “get it together”

This episode is equal parts neuroscience, faith, humor, and real-life humanity — because if we can’t laugh at ourselves, we’re going to cry… and honestly, sometimes we’ll do both.

My prayer is that by the time you finish listening, your shoulders will soften…
your breath will deepen…
your nervous system will settle…
and your whole body will feel the peace of the God who says:

“I am enough today.
You don’t carry this alone.”

Take a sip of something warm.
Take a breath.
Let’s reset together.

No pressure.
No performance.
Just peace.
