If you’re feeling tired—but not just in your body, in your soul—this episode is for you.
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 “radical relaxation” really means (hint: it’s 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—it’s 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—and 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.
