Rest Is Holy: Why True Restoration Is Essential (and Not Selfish)

Health·Brigid Tebaldi·Jul 1, 2025· 1 minute

We live in a world where exhaustion is a badge of honor.

Late nights. Burnout. Hustle culture. Even in our Church circles, it’s easy to overwork in the name of service and forget that Jesus Himself slept in storms.

In my latest podcast, I talk about what rest really means and how it’s not just good for your health,. it’s essential for your soul.

We cover:

  • What the Bible teaches about rest (spoiler: it’s not optional)

  • How your nervous system and hormones are impacted by burnout

  • Why moms, ministry leaders, and type-A women struggle the most to rest

  • How to stop equating your worth with your productivity

  • The hidden grief we often avoid by staying busy

This is your reminder that rest is not something you earn. It’s something you’re made for.

If this spoke to you, if you’re tired of being tired, and you’re ready for rhythms of peace and restoration, I want to personally invite you to The Dwelling Place.

It’s my private community for women like you: women who love Jesus, want to heal, and are done with the lie that holiness = hustle.
