About this listen
Do you feel like your "to-do" list is the only thing keeping you upright? In this episode of Rest in Love, host Aamira Lomax dives deep into the hidden connection between a packed schedule and a wounded heart. For many of us, being "busy" isn't a sign of productivity—it’s a high-functioning trauma response used to outrun pain, silence, and the fear of being "not enough."
Drawing from the story of Martha and Mary, and the psychology of the "Flight" response, Aamira explores how Jesus meets us in our restlessness. Learn how to recognize when your body is in survival mode and how to return to your original design: being a daughter who works from love, not for it.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why stillness can feel like a threat to a dysregulated nervous system.
- The biblical difference between "serving" and "striving."
- Practical steps to move from "Human Doing" back to "Human Being."
Rooted Word: Isaiah 30:15 Reflection:
If I stopped being 'busy' today, what is the loudest thought or feeling that would finally catch up to me? Jesus, what do You want to say to that specific feeling?"Support the show
