If you’ve ever felt guilty when you stop, restless even when you sit down, or exhausted by the mental load you carry every day, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Pretty Deep Podcast, we explore why rest feels unsafe for so many capable women, how perfectionism and performance quietly drive burnout, and what it really means to experience inner rest by trusting God instead of carrying everything alone. This isn’t about doing less or escaping responsibility, it’s about learning to rest in God and letting His peace change how heavy life feels on the inside.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
• Why mental and emotional exhaustion is often invisible but very real
• How guilt around rest is tied to control, perfectionism, and worth
• Why “just rest more” doesn’t work long-term
• How your view of God affects your ability to truly rest
• Gentle questions that help you release the pressure to hold everything together
