Quotes and statements within the interview:
"If I can just plan out my life and get it perfect, have God kind of line up what I want to do, then everything will be great."
"My mother died in childbirth."
"And so I ended up being raised my great grandmother who was 77 year old at the time I was born."
"Because in my teenage head, I separated God and Jesus out.""But Father God, I really couldn't understand and really didn't like, if I'm gonna be 100% honest. I didn't feel like He had been fair with how He had dealt with me and my life."
"But I had to get to a point where I could trust Him to be able to rest, to be able to move forward in my life.""The first thing that happens is you feel the pain, and then after that you figure out how not to hurt."
"As a teenager, I started looking at how am I going to control my life so it ends the way I want it to end; with the 2-story house and the pool in the back and the great husband, and you know the well-adjusted kids. How am I gonna get to that point?"
"We really have no control over life and death."
"When we talk about internal medicine, we're really talking about the biochemistry of it."
"And I was standing there in that moment and I was anything but happy; I was depleted. I just felt like there was nothing left in me.""It was as if God stepped into the room in that moment."
"It was burning out the part of me that felt like I had to control it all."
"And I find that most people who have a problem with a rest deficit, they tried to go to sleep and they do. But they wake up and they're still tired."
"Sleep is purely a physical function."
"Rest is complicated to the level of making it beneficial.""When you get in that cycle of not resting, it becomes harder to rest."
"It was almost as if God was kind of saying 'Look at her. You're looking at yourself, how you were when you first started this journey.'"
"When we start tasting the good in our life, we are more willing to be producers of that good. And we do it with joy because we know we can experience it.""The more work I could produce, the more of a producer I could be, was the more valuable I was."
"Producing by itself does not give a sense of satisfaction and does not allow us to examine and experience the goodness. All it does is it keeps us busy. And you have to produce to taste, but you can produce and never taste; and that's when it becomes dangerous."
"I had to live it first.""But what if what He (God) has for you looks even better, because it's for you? It fits YOUR life and what He wants to do for your personally."
Ways of physical rest?
Yoga Massage therapyWhat would you tell the "Karen" out there listening?
Recognize that there is a problem. What needs to change? Take the REST Quiz."It's not normal to wake up in the morning to be just as exhausted as when you went to bed."

What are the types of REST?
Physical (Passive and Active) Mental Social Emotional Sensory Spiritual CreativeWhat has your story gifted you?
The ability to open my heart in places I wouldn't have expected to open them."My mindset was that I should keep it all private, keep it into myself, not share the pain with anybody, not let people see the brokenness, not let them experience the trueness of what I've gone through in my life."
"Brokenness is part of the journey."
"Pain is just a testimony."
