37| Why "Busy" is a trauma response

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 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2411981/support]

36| Finding Your Voice: From the Shadow of Silence to the Strength of Spirit

Have you ever felt like your voice was trapped in your throat? Whether it’s in your relationships, your career, or even your prayer life, the fear of speaking up can feel paralyzing. In this episode, Aamira Lomax explores the "Freeze" response and how past experiences of being silenced can keep us from the authority God has given us. Looking at the life of Moses and the woman with the issue of blood, we see a Savior who doesn't just want us healed—He wants us heard. This is a gentle invitation to stop "self-silencing" to keep a false peace and start stepping into the power, love, and sound mind that is your birthright. In this episode, we discuss: * How the "Freeze" response affects your ability to set boundaries and speak truth. * Why God chooses the "slow of speech" to carry His most important messages. * "Micro-boldness": How to practice using your voice in small, safe ways. Rooted Word: Isaiah 50:4 Reflection: If I knew for a certainty that I could not be rejected, what is the one thing I have been holding back from saying? Lord, help me see how You are standing with me as I find the words. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2411981/support]
