I'm Worried That I'm Not Resting Right (and What to Do About It)
Episode 222
Monday, 15 June, 2026

Sometimes even rest feels like one more thing you're getting wrong. You finally have a quiet moment, the kids are occupied, the house settles down, but instead of feeling peaceful, you feel frozen. You spend your precious rest time wondering what you should be doing, worrying that you're wasting it, or getting caught in the endless loop of "I don't know." I don't know how to rest. I don't know where to start. I don't know what to do. In this episode, I'm talking about why those three little words can quietly steal your peace, drain your energy, and keep you stuck in overwhelm long after the school year ends. Today, I'm diving into: Why "I don't know" creates more stress than clarity, and how to recognize you're stuck in it. How learned helplessness doesn't just show up in your kids. The connection between rest, decision fatigue, and overwhelm, and what to trade it for. Five simple beliefs that can help you move forward with more confidence, hope, and trust in God, and uproot discouragement and even despair. My sister in Christ, the goal isn't to have everything figured out every day, so that you can have peace. The goal is to become the woman, the mother, the homeschooler whose peace is rooted in trust, faith, hope, and gratitude. If you've been feeling discouraged, exhausted, or unsure of how to truly rest this summer, this episode will help you replace confusion with clarity, despair with hope, and self-doubt with faith.
