We have none other than Rebekah Lyons joining us today on Pardon the Mess. Rebekah is a national speaker and bestselling author living in Nashville, Tennessee. She’s a mom to four children and speaks honestly about the joys and challenges of raising her children, two of whom have Down syndrome. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, CNN, the Huffington Post, and more. Rebekah and I talk about her very personal battle of dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. She shares the four life-giving rhythms that have helped her quiet the inner chaos: rest, restore, connect, and create. My favorite quote from our time with Rebekah is when she reminds us that “calling is where your talents and your burdens collide” and how our pain often becomes our purpose. Rebekah is a breath of fresh air in a culture where anxiety and stress often seem to prevail. If your life feels as chaotic as mine does some days, you will be grateful to sit down, breathe deeply, and spend a few minutes with Rebekah Lyons on Pardon the Mess.  Links:  Connect with Rebekah Lyons    Rebekah’s latest book: Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose
