Topics: Emotional rest, belonging, surrender as posture, and freedom from performance We are huddled up with Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith to talk about her book Being Fully Known The Joyful Satisfaction of Beholding, Becoming, and Belonging. Dr. Saundra is a board certified physician, international speaker, bestselling author, and founder of Restorasis. She blends biblical truth, science, and personal experience to help women move beyond performance and into emotional rest. In this conversation we explore what it means to be fully known by God and how that truth becomes an invitation into rest. We talk about: • Why our culture conditions us to prove our worth through productivity • How surrender is a posture of trust • Why emptiness becomes an invitation to be filled • The barriers of fear, rejection, and self protection • What belonging looks like when we stop performing Dr. Saundra also shares insight on how emotional rest impacts physical health and daily life, and she invites women to take an honest look at where they need deeper rest.
