Tired of trying so hard to be okay? You’re not alone. Unwrapping Rest is for the Christian woman who is weary from perfectionism, overwhelmed by her never-ending to-do list, and ready to trade burnout for biblical rest that lasts. If you are stuck in the striving cycle -- constantly trying to be enough -- this podcast is your invitation to stop trying so hard and learn to rest in Jesus. Together, we will explore how to break free from perfectionism that is stealing your peace; biblical alternatives to hustle culture that actually work; why your planner can never fix your burnout (and what can); practical ways to find rest for your anxious, overwhelmed heart; and ways to connect with God in true rest. Hosted by Dawn Tolbert, author of I'd Rather Die Than Obey: Trusting God Even When It Hurts, this podcast offers encouragement for the woman who is ready to stop striving and start truly living.

Isolation isn’t our friend.

When we find ourselves hurting and broken or stressed and striving, it helps so much to know others understand.

That’s why I’m committed to building this community.

I need a continual reminder to unwrap the gift of rest and want to encourage you, too.
