In this episode, we dive into the transformative practice of silence. In our noisy world—filled with constant sounds, to-do lists, and distractions—finding true quiet can seem daunting, even a little bit scary. But science and tradition both show that just a few moments of intentional silence each day can help reset our nervous systems, improve focus, and create space for spiritual awareness.

Join me as I share my own two-week experiment with morning silence, the science behind why silence benefits our brains and bodies, and practical tips for making this practice approachable in your everyday life. We’ll also end with a gentle, minute-long guided silence practice you can try right where you are. Whether silence is new to you or something you’re returning to, this episode is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and rest in the presence of God—right in the middle of your real, imperfect life. Let’s begin.

Welcome back to Rest for the Worn & Weary! In today’s episode, host Alyssa Flegg sits down with Jen Kleiber, an educator turned entrepreneur, to explore the heart of her personal prayer practice—and how it has evolved through seasons of faith, family, and business. Jen opens up about how starting a prayer journal transformed her relationship with God, helping her move beyond repetitive requests to a more intentional, intimate habit of praise, thanksgiving, and reflection.

You'll hear Jen break down her unique journaling method—complete with creative tabs, circles to track ongoing prayers, and dedicated spaces to recall God's faithfulness and her own steps of obedience. Whether your prayer life feels stale or you're looking for practical ways to connect more deeply with God, Jen’s thoughtful process and real-life examples will inspire you to just start, no matter where you are.

So, grab your coffee, settle in, and get ready for a gentle, encouraging conversation on building meaningful spiritual habits, embracing the unanswered, and honoring God in every facet of life.
