Are you exhausted from running your own business? Are you too hard on yourself when things at home or work aren't as perfect as you feel they should be? Is it hard to find the peaceful quiet place that you desperately need?   In this episode, Heather and I discuss how to find rest in God, replenishment vs. self-medicating, and being intentional about DAILY refreshment. It takes deliberate effort to identify and pursue the things we need to build our mental, physical, and emotional energy back up after a depleting day in the house or office.   Heather is a mental health therapist (LPCC) treating trauma symptoms, ptsd, and emotional/behavioral difficulties, a ballroom dancer, and well as a mother of twins! She is an intensely caring woman, who has utilized her unique personality and experiences to find success both in her field and her family!   If you would like to learn more about Heather's Practice, please visit her website at https://highlandmeadowscc.com/our-story   We’ll be back next Monday with a new episode to encourage and replenish you, but if you want more right away, make sure to listen to our earlier episodes as well.

Have you ever had trouble saying "no" to adding new things to your plate? Do you hesitate to delegate tasks to others? Have you felt like you can't measure up to the example of other women?   In this episode, I speak with Yvette Martin McGrew about recognizing the individuals that God has created us to be, and how to remain ourselves even when we feel pressure to pretend we are someone else. We discuss reading the Word and other books, scheduling time to get away while dealing with an inconsistent work schedule, and living with confidence.   Yvette is an anesthesiologist here in Minnesota. She is an adventurous and outgoing person who does clinical work, research, and teaches as well. As you can see, she stays pretty busy, but she is passionate about helping other women realize that it is possible to work in a demanding role while still having a great home life!   We’ll be back next Monday with a new episode to encourage and replenish you, but if you want more right away, make sure to listen to our earlier episodes as well.
