Have you noticed how your body can be still, but your mind keeps going?The same thought. The same worry. The same unfinished conversation looping, even after you've rested. You might be sleeping more. Taking breaks. Trying to slow down. And yet, you still wake up tired.In my conversation earlier this week with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, author of The Seven Types of Rest, she shared something important: emotional rest doesn't come from stopping the noise. It comes from processing what your mind is holding onto.Today, we slow things down. Not to fix anything. Not to solve the problem. But to create space for what's been quietly draining you.Journal with me using these prompts:What thought, worry, or conversation keeps replaying in my mind right now? Write it down exactly as it sounds in my head. No filtering. Just capture the loop.What type of rest deficit might this be pointing to? Mental, emotional, social, spiritual, physical, sensory, or creative.Why am I actually holding on to this thought? What do I believe will happen if I let it go or don't solve it right now? What am I afraid this situation means about me?If I truly wanted to pour back into this depleted area — not just stop the bleeding — what would that look like? What would help me feel restored, not just less drained?By the end of this episode, you'll feel calmer and clearer — not because everything is resolved, but because you understand what your mind has been trying to protect.Resources Mentioned:Free Calm Mind Blueprint: http://www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podNewsletter: www.samanthapenkoff.com/promptsWork with me:Breakthrough Intensive - You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting.

Hi Dad…Today on The Dad Whisperer Podcast I'm joined by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, an internal medicine physician, author, international speaker, spiritual mentor and coach who is dedicated to restoring mental, physical, and spiritual well-being to those under her care. You will glean from her practical wisdom in understanding more about your daughter's longing to be seen, loved, and connected. Join us to learn practical ways to invest in her with more precision as this new year gets underway.

You're getting enough sleep - seven, maybe eight hours - and you're still exhausted.In this conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician and author of The Seven Types of Rest, to talk about why sleep alone doesn't fix burnout, mental overload, or that constant feeling of being drained.We unpack the difference between sleep and rest, why so many high-achieving women feel tired even when they're “doing everything right,” and how exhaustion often comes from the places in life where you're pouring out without restoring.This isn't about adding another habit or fixing your bedtime routine. It's about noticing where your energy is going, and what it actually takes to feel rested again.Resources Mentioned:Rest quiz: https://www.restquiz.com/home-page/Free Calm Mind Blueprint: http://www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podEpisode 15 about the 7 Types of Rest: https://pod.link/1651843607/episode/S2FqYWJpLTIxNDc4NTMyMjcConnect with Dr. Saundra:Learn more about Dr. Saundra: DrDaltonSmith.com Dr. Saundra's Website: https://ichoosemybestlife.com/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdaltonsmith/Work with me:Breakthrough Intensive - You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting.

When you think of types of rest, your mind probably goes straight to sleep or maybe a quick nap.While those are crucial, there's much more to rest than just catching Zs. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, researcher, and author of Sacred Rest, has divided rest into seven types, each addressing a specific area of life.We talk about the types of rest and how to get them, especially during the holiday season!

Exploring rest as the fertile ground where insight, spaciousness, and possibility take root, host Laurel Boivin shares that the most inspired, aligned creativity grows out of restoration, not relentless effort. Drawing from Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's framework in Sacred Rest, Laurel walks through several essential types of rest—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and creative—and reveals how each one replenishes a different facet of your inner world. Through relatable examples and simple daily practices, she gently guides listeners to notice where they're depleted, where their nervous system is asking for care, and where beauty or awe may be calling them back to themselves. You'll be invited into a quiet self check-in, a moment to pause and feel what's stirring beneath the surface—your body's fatigue, your mind's busyness, your emotional load, and the places where life may feel flat or disconnected. Laurel shares her own journey with sensory rest and how focusing on a single form of restoration created meaningful, cascading change in her life. This episode is a soft, spacious reminder that doing less often opens the door to deeper clarity, wider creativity, and a more aligned way of being. It's an invitation to choose one small act of rest this week and let it become a catalyst for your own renewal. In this episode: Why rest is foundational to meaningful creativity Five forms of rest that restore different parts of your inner landscape How depletion shows up physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually Simple practices to create more mental space, emotional honesty, and creative inspiration A guided check-in to reconnect with what your body, mind, and spirit need most right now Links/Books mentioned Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith Rest Quiz: https://www.restquiz.com/ The email to send questions to Laurel Boivin is laurel@fluxflowcoaching.com and for Laurel Holland - laurel@liveyourinnerpower.com The link to our private Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/beautifulworkbeautifullife Host/Cohost/Guest Info Guiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

This week, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, who writes about the seven types of rest that everyone needs.Rest is far more than sleep — it's a set of rituals that help you restore energy, creativity, and motivation in your squiggly career. From physical and mental rest to creative, emotional, and social rest, Helen and Sarah share how to identify your biggest “rest gaps” and design routines that actually work for you.You'll also hear how Helen used AI to create a personalised rest profile (with some surprising insights) and how you can try the same coaching prompt to find your own rest reset.Episode 512

Midlife can be exhausting. The amount of change we go through in this season of life brings grief. At the same time our bodies are changing in a way that can make us feel even more out of sorts. That is why Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith is talking to us about emotional rest.   It's not a surprise that fear peaks its head and identity is questioned in this storm of change. Dr. Dalton-Smith reminds us we must pray for God's clarity and as we move through this journey. We need to watch our self-talk and the messages we are repeating in our own minds. And we must find a community of true belonging, where we are safe to explore these changes and how they impact our self perception.   We hope this is a place that feels like true belonging to you. As you experience the stress of midlife, we hope you press play, exhale, and remember that you belong to God no matter your age or stage. FIND MORE ABOUT DR.

If you're exhausted, unmotivated, or mentally fried, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, researcher, and author of Sacred Rest, to talk about the 7 different types of rest — and why getting more sleep isn't the real solution to burnout. Dr. Saundra explains how true rest goes beyond naps or vacations — it's about recharging the areas where your energy is being drained: mentally, emotionally, socially, creatively, and more. She also shares how building a rest ethic (just like a work ethic!) can help you feel productive, peaceful, and joyful again. If you've been pushing yourself nonstop, this conversation will help you understand why rest isn't lazy — it's powerful. You'll walk away knowing exactly what kind of rest you're missing and how to get it. ✨ We talk about: The 7 types of rest — and how to tell which one you need most The real signs of burnout (and why sleep alone won't fix it) The difference between “fake rest” and restorative rest How to build a healthy rest ethic without losing your drive Simple ways to recharge your mind and body in five minutes or less Why true rest makes you more creative, focused, and happy

On this episode of Jesus Listens: Stories of Prayer, we’ll hear from physician, researcher, author, and speaker Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, who understands the daily pressure many of us feel to “perform” and live up to unrealistic standards of who we think we should be. When we can begin to understand who we are apart from what we do, God can help us remove the pressure to “do” and embrace the freedom to “be.” Guest’s Links YouTube: @SaundraDaltonSmith Instagram: @drdaltonsmith Facebook:@DrSaundraDaltonSmith Watch this interview on our YouTube channel! https://bit.ly/4mzRd5X ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Jesus Calling Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Have you ever thought, “I don't even know what would be restorative right now”? You're not alone. In fact, nearly 60% of women report spending no time on self-care most days, leaving them depleted and unsure how to fill their own tank. In this episode 155 of Medium Lady Talks, I share a practical way to bridge the gap between knowing you're exhausted and actually choosing something restorative. Building on Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's 7 Types of Rest, I introduce my simplified BEMS framework, four buckets you can reach for when you're too tired to think clearly: Body (hydrate, stretch, nap, walk) Emotions (cry, laugh, connect with someone safe) Mind (phone break, music, doodle, brain dump) Senses (dim the lights, light a candle, step outside) You'll hear why decision fatigue makes it so hard to choose rest, what the latest research tells us about the decline in maternal mental health, and how invisible labor and overstimulation drain us daily. (For reference, here's the JAMA study I mention: Trends and Disparities in Maternal Self-Reported Mental and Physical Health, 2016–2023). If you've been feeling flat, frazzled, or unsure how to restore yourself, this episode will give you a gentle place to start — one tiny action at a time. ✨ Bonus: Patreon subscribers can download the printable Restorative Cheat Sheet that turns this framework into an easy everyday tool - will be Published  on Tuesday Sept 30  

Burnout isn't just an adult problem—it's showing up in the lives of our daughters at alarming rates. Between heavy academic loads, endless extracurriculars, and the pressure to be “perfect” online and in real life, girls today are carrying stress that leaves them weary in body, mind, and spirit.  On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Rachael Culpepper, Executive Director of American Heritage Girls, sits down with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, international speaker, and bestselling author of Sacred Rest. Together, they unpack how burnout is shaping this generation of girls—and how moms can step in with both wisdom and grace.  Dr. Saundra shares practical ways to recognize the warning signs of burnout, the dangerous link between perfectionism and exhaustion, and why rest is not a luxury, but a God-designed necessity. Rachael and Dr. Saundra also explore the different kinds of rest beyond sleep—social, emotional, creative, and spiritual—and how each one can help restore your daughter's resilience.  If you've ever wondered how to support your girl when she's running on empty, this conversation will give you hope and direction. Because at the heart of it all is the reminder Jesus gives us: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).  Scripture References:  Matthew 11:28  Learn more about Dr. Saundra's work at ichoosemybestlife.com. Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.   

In a world that's hyper-focused on hustle and productivity, many of us have been taught that our worth is tied to what we do. But what if being is more valuable than doing?  Today on the 4:13, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith—physician, spiritual mentor, and coach—shares how to embrace a life rooted not in performance but in stillness, rest, and your God-given identity. With warmth and wisdom, she offers both scientific insight and biblical truth to help you separate the worth of what you do from the infinite worth of who you are. You'll discover the connection between mental clarity and stillness, practical ways to build a “rest ethic,” and how to break the cycle of doing. Plus, you'll learn how to recognize the warning signs of fear-based living so you can find the courage to be vulnerable and take risks. If you've ever struggled to rest or to stop proving yourself, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that you are already fully known, deeply loved, and free to just “be.” SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/369 Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

As the summer holiday season draws to a close, ask yourself this. Did you manage to get as much rest as you would have liked? A lot of people out there would say no. Perhaps their holiday wasn't actually restful at all, or they didn't even get a chance to go away. American internal medicine physician Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith has dedicated a lot of research towards the issue of chronic fatigue. In 2017, she released a book entitled “Sacred Rest”, which would go on to be a bestseller. She asserted that there are seven different types of rest that we need to fully recharge our batteries. What are the seven different types of rest? What are the tips to remember? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
