114 | Selah Sessions: Permission to Rest for the Chronically Capable Entrepreneur (Bonus Panel Discussion)

You already know how to keep going. This episode is for the part of you that doesn't know how to stop.

In this special Selah Sessions panel replay, you'll sit in on an honest, unscripted conversation with three women who have each had to relearn what rest actually means, not the Pinterest version, the real one. Diane Cunningham Ellis, Danielle Ralston, and Dr. Melissa Oden join Marta to talk about the seasons they ignored their bodies until their bodies stopped giving them a choice: addiction, an MS diagnosis, a season that ended in the ER with blood pressure numbers that should have killed her.

If you've ever felt the weight of being the responsible one, the capable one, the one who holds it all together, you'll find yourself in this conversation.

What You'll Learn

Why "chronically capable" women tend to ignore the warning signs their bodies are sending them, and what that costs over time

How each panelist defines rest beyond sleep: through play, community, boundaries, and simply asking for help

Why self-care became a checklist item, and how to shift toward rest as restoration instead

What it looks like practically to work from a place of rest day to day, not just in theory

Why Christian women in particular struggle with permission to rest, and how scripture actually models rest
