How to Establish Boundaries and Create Space for Rest

These episodes are favorites because I gather leading voices on a single topic to help you learn practical ways to set boundaries and find genuine, lasting rest. Today, we focus on both boundaries and soul-deep rest—essentials we all need but often neglect.
We’re talking about healthy boundaries, Sabbath rhythms, the invisible pressures women face, and practical ways to build rest into your life so you can experience greater renewal and resilience. These conversations share hard-won wisdom from those who have lived, studied, and practiced it.
If you’ve ever thought, “I need better boundaries,” or “I wish I could rest, but my life won’t let me,” this episode is for you. You have permission to rest. Choose one practical strategy from today’s episode and make space for rest this week. We’re not just talking about rest—we’re making room for it.
