About this episode

Have you ever felt guilty for taking time away from your family to rest, recharge, or do something for yourself? Even if it’s just 30 minutes, there can often be so much guilt that surfaces when we as moms take time away from our families.

So today, we're diving into why we seem to neglect rest, why rest is important, and how to rest the right way.
