Overcoming Stress with Barb Roose

Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

The wonderful Barb Roose, author of Stronger than Stress: 10 Spiritual Practices to Win the Battle of Overwhelm, joins Jennifer Pepito for episode 107. This hard-hitting episode is all about stress! It is so timely to transition into the holiday season. Barb is full of profound wisdom and helpful insight on stress, what it is, what it isn't, and how to deal with it.

As mothers, we can be conduits of Christ-centred peace or agents of chaos. This episode is for you if you are struggling with the latter or want to be more of the former.

This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

In this episode–

• If you, as a mother, are under chronic stress, ask yourself if you are trying to be everything to everyone and then start stepping back from that place because only God can fill that place.
• Stress is not bad; it is a gift from God to know when we are too deep.
• Don't let lies or the fruit of stress dictate how you view your children.
• Whimsy can diffuse a stressful situation quickly.
• We cannot live to do the will of our children and our husbands, nor can we act as though keeping them safe and happy is our job.
