Why do you still feel exhausted, even after you rest? What if the kind of rest you think you need isn’t the one that will actually restore you? In this episode, Dr. Sandra Dalton-Smith unpacks the seven types of rest, and they are going to completely change the way you think about fatigue and burnout.

As a physician, Dr. Dalton-Smith has seen firsthand how exhaustion isn’t just about needing more sleep, and as someone who loves missionaries, she speaks right to the heart of what we need to stay in this work for the long haul.

If you’ve been feeling depleted, stretched too thin, or just plain exhausted, this episode is for you. This conversation has the potential to change the way you see rest and the way you experience it.

Rest is about to feel a whole lot more possible.
