Permission to Pause: Recovering After the School Year

In this episode of The Education Connection, I share an honest look at what it feels like to hit summer break and still feel completely drained—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Three days in, and the rest hasn’t kicked in yet. Sound familiar?

We’ll talk about:

  • Why post-year exhaustion is deeper than just being “tired”
  • Simple, soul-filling ways to rest without guilt
  • A quick devotional from Matthew 11:28 to remind us we’re not meant to carry it all
  • And how Mel Robbins’ 5-Second Rule might just help when it’s time to slowly ease back into motion

If you’re feeling worn out instead of refreshed, this episode is your permission slip to pause. You’ve done enough. Let this be your gentle reminder: real rest takes time—and you deserve it.
