107. A Conversation About Prepping To Take Time Off

Somer and Michelle are pumped to have this conversation with you about taking time off and put everything they discuss into practice as we slow waaaaaaayy down at the end of the year. Taking time off isn't easy, but God both created us to rest and He commands us to rest. Bottom line: taking time off matters. This conversation is jam-packed with practicality as we discuss:

•  best practices to plan for rest
•  how to prioritize rest when you and your spouse rest differently and/or you have young kids
• defining rest for yourself (because rest is personal!)
