Your Retreat
From Stressed to Sabbath Rest
A six-week healing journey for Black Christian women who do too much.
You don’t have to carry it all. You don’t have to perform to be loved. You don’t have to earn rest—it’s already yours.
This book is for every woman who’s been praised for her strength and secretly wondered if she’s allowed to lay it down.
It’s for every “Super Shero” who longs to breathe again.
Experience Healing, Rest, and Renewal
Six Invitations for Rest
We walk together through six sacred calls: the call to healing, the call to rest, the call to communion, the call to community, the call to surrender, and the call to sabbath. Each chapter offers reflection, story, and soul care practices to help you release the pressure and return to yourself—and to God.
Take a Break from the Cape
You Might See Yourself in These Pages if… You’ve been the strong one for everyone else. You struggle to rest without guilt. You love God deeply but feel spiritually worn down. You’re ready to heal—but not in a hurry. You long for sacred, spacious rhythms.Black women are strong, but we are not invincible.
Excerpts from the Book
My Wake-Up Call
“The journey to Sabbath rest began for me in an unexpected way—a wake-up call to my body, mind, and spirit. Like many Black women, I had learned to wear strength like armor, to be resilient no matter the cost. But when that resilience began to take its toll, I had to confront the core of my identity and the weight I’d been carrying.”
Our Story as Black Women
“The “Black Super Shero Syndrome,” as I call it, has been passed down through generations. We’ve been taught to keep going, to hold it all together, to be strong no matter what. But this type of strength often comes at the cost of our health, our peace, and our connection with God.”
An Invitation
“This retreat is not an admonition to keep being strong—it’s an invitation to experience the luxuriousness of God’s loving care.”
