Finding rest as a Christian woman while building a business and birthing a baby

‘As women, we carry layers of responsibility - some seen, others hidden. We’re birthing babies, building businesses, holding up households, and holding space for everyone else. The weight is not just physical, it’s mental, spiritual, and emotional. And when you’re in the thick of it, even rest feels like a luxury,’ says Salomé Criddle.

I’m currently pregnant (in my third trimester) and just finished running a women’s conference. Needless to say, the pressure was immense. There’s a constant battle between showing up for my business and tending to the very different requirements of motherhood. I naturally have an overactive mind. And my brain continuously goes back to my business baby.
