Dr. Zoe sits down with Tracie Braylock, holistic nurse, educator, and author of Radical Relaxation: Releasing the Stress You Were Never Meant to Carry. Together, they unpack what \u201cradical relaxation\u201d really means (hint: it\u2019s not about bubble baths) and why women especially need to redefine their relationship with rest. We talk about:  Why modern stress is more than just a lifestyle issue\u2014it\u2019s a spiritual and physiological one The difference between numbing out and true restoration How to recognize your stress signals before your body forces you to stop The role of boundaries in protecting your peace How Biblical wisdom and scientific research both point to the necessity of deep rest  Tracie brings her experience as a former operating room nurse and her current role as a writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries to offer grounded, compassionate insights for women who carry too much\u2014and rest too little. Take a deep breath, press play, and give yourself permission to stop striving and start receiving the rest your body and soul actually need.
