191. 4 Steps to Rest Well: Recharging Your Spirit and Business

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, we're going deep on something a lot of high-achieving entrepreneurs try to skip: REST. If you've been working hard and you're starting to feel the drain, this one is for you. I get personal in this episode. I take you back to 2011 when I hit a wall that changed everything I thought I knew about capacity, output, and what it actually means to be well.  This year, the Lord pressed on me to take a sabbatical from one-on-one coaching through June and July. Honestly? My first reaction was not peace. It was resistance. But I said yes, and what has happened on the other side of that obedience is exactly what this episode is about. I also walk you through a four-part framework I've been using to rest in a way that actually fills you back up. I'm calling it Release, Enter, Satisfy, and Together. This isn't about checking out. It's about checking in, with God, with yourself, with what your soul is actually asking for. Rest isn't a reward for finishing. It's part of the work. Want to learn how to build differently?
