• Episode 118: Finding Peace and Rest while Solo Parenting
    2025/06/28

    In this episode of the 'Created for This' podcast, I share personal experiences of solo parenting while my husband traveled for work, discussing the importance of self-care to prevent burnout.

    I highlight three aspects of rest—mental, physical, and emotional—emphasizing that true rest goes beyond superficial measures.

    Strategies for achieving rest include taking mental breaks, finding restful physical activities, and managing emotional health through prayer, walking, and journaling.

    The episode also delves into maintaining a positive mindset, backed by scripture, and the significance of seeking Jesus for peace and emotional support.

    I also provide practical tips for solo parents, such as asking for help and establishing routines.
