Unwrapping Rest: The Podcast
For the Christian woman tired of trying to be enough.
What if rest isn’t something you earn?
Unwrapping Rest is your invitation to stop striving and find the peace Jesus offers. Each episode is a gentle reminder that true rest doesn’t come from a finished checklist. It comes from trusting the One who finished the work for us.

When a midyear reset becomes a burden, it’s time to refocus on True Hope. In this episode, Dawn unpacks how biblical hope invites us to rest, not strive and how to find peace beyond your planner. A grace-filled start to your Rest, Not Striving journey.
