  • 127 // 3 Simple Self-Care Shifts to Unlock Relaxation at Home
    Jun 5 2025

    Summer cranks up the pressure for vacation vibes only as if rest and restoration have to come with a plane ticket, a beach view, or a perfectly lit patio. But what if rest wasn’t something you had to escape to find? What if it was something you could unlock right at home with just a few intentional shifts? Interior designer Leanne Ford once said, “Make your home better than your vacation.” And that’s what we’re leaning into today. In this episode, we’re reimagining home environment self-care and exploring how small shifts can bring staycation energy into your space, making your home a place of peace, restoration, and spiritual renewal. No overhaul is required. Just 1 to 2% better, on purpose, with intention, and with God at the center of it all.

  • 126 // Revitalize Your Spiritual Self-Care: Modern Lessons from the Life of Jesus
    May 29 2025

    Feeling stretched thin—even in your walk with God? Pouring out in every direction but rarely pausing to be poured into? This episode offers a gentle pause and a fresh perspective, exploring how Jesus practiced spiritual self-care—and why that matters for your daily life right now. These aren't just ancient stories, they’re modern invitations to step into rhythms of grace, peace, and restoration. Jesus didn’t just serve and heal. He rested, withdrew, and nurtured His relationship with Father God. And that same invitation is open today.

    Keep listening for three ways Jesus cared for His soul, and how those same rhythms can restore joy, calm, and clarity in a world that constantly pulls on every side. Rest isn’t lazy, it’s divine. Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s sacrosanct. And the quiet places? That’s where God is already waiting to meet you with open arms.
