389 Rest is the NEW Hustle How Busy Christian Women Can Succeed Without Burnout (or guilt), ft. Jennifer Afriyie

What if rest isn’t the reward for finishing everything—but the starting place for discernment, clarity, and fruitful work?

In today’s freeing conversation, I’m joined by Jennifer Y. Afriyie, CEO of Calm, Queen of Results and creator of The REST Framework™. After a health crisis forced her to dismantle the grind culture she once upheld, Jennifer now helps high achievers succeed by doing less on purpose—without burnout, guilt, or toxic productivity.

We talk about:

• The difference between being faithful and being exhausted
• 
  
• Why rest leads to discernment—and discernment helps you choose better
• 
  
• How Jesus modeled boundaries, clarity, and mission-driven work
• 
  

Through the story of Mary and Martha, Jennifer reframes success as working with God instead of for Him—and challenges the belief that exhaustion is the cost of obedience. Rest, she reminds us, is not weakness; it’s where strength, wisdom, and alignment are renewed.

If you’ve been pursuing “good” success that doesn’t feel good, this episode will help you release pressure, rethink productivity, and embrace a way of working that actually bears fruit.
