149: A Fresh Look at How to Find Rest When You’re Tired of Being Tired with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith

The Christian Mindset Coach with Alicia Michelle

How can we find more rest when rest seems to be just out of reach? I understand–you want to get more rest (especially mental rest), but you aren’t sure how to make it happen. If you feel exhausted and need practical ways to get rest in your busy life then you’ll love today’s episode with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, internal medicine doctor and author of Sacred Rest. She shares her seven types of rest (this was a game-changer for me!) and what to do as Christian women when we’re tired of being tired.

We not only talk about practical ways to get more rest but how longing for true soul rest can be an invitation to a more vulnerable, honest relationship with God. You’ll love Dr Sandra’s no-nonsense approach that makes everyday rest possible for busy women like you and me!
