If you are a wife, mom, sister, leader, or a girl who’s single,  I’d venture to say that your answer was “yes, ” because the role of caretaker is a natural attribute that a woman is given. It’s part of the way you were wired…right?

However, contrary to your normal tendencies to, first, take care of others , it’s important that you realize the value of taking care of yourself.

In today’s podcast, I talk to my friend Brittany Turner, wife, mommy, and follower of “all things Jesus,” about the value of self-care, and how we must intentionally make the investment– in order to be well in our mind, body, and spirit.

Friends, let’s face it,  none of us are immune to burn out!  When we don’t rest, and service the needs of our physical, and mental health, we don’t serve God well, or service the people that He has placed in our lives.

So, please join us, as we engage in a “well needed” conversation about  self-care!

Highlights from Today’s Episode:

• Understanding God’s plan of rest.
• Creating space to find your happiness.
