You can love God and still be barely holding on. Both can be true.
Rose Smith is a Christian speaker and author on anxiety and burnout. She helps women face the hard seasons with honest faith, real rest, and no shame.
You’re doing all the right things and still feel like you’re barely keeping up
A lot of women carry more than anyone around them realizes. Some are leading a ministry while quietly running on empty. Some lie awake at 2am with a mind that will not slow down. Many have been told, in a hundred small ways, that a strong enough faith should have fixed this by now. If that is you, you are not weak and you are not failing. You are tired, and there is a better way to carry this.

Messages that give women permission to be honest and hope to keep going
Rose speaks at churches, women’s conferences, and leadership events. Every talk is grounded in Scripture, honest about real life, and built to send women home with one thing they can use.
01
For any audience
Holy and Still Anxious
For the woman who loves Jesus and still lies awake at 2am. She is not doubting God. She is exhausted, quietly ashamed that her faith has not fixed the fear, and she needs permission to be honest. This talk brings her to Scripture that meets her there and sends her home with a real next step.
For women’s ministry & retreats
For women’s ministry and retreats
On rest, margin, and trading the hustle of proving yourself for the peace of trusting God. Many women in the room are running hard and running empty, convinced that slowing down means falling behind. This talk names that lie and gives women a practical way to start living from trust instead of pressure.
02
03
For leaders and teams
Leading on Empty
On ministry burnout, and how to keep serving without losing yourself. The women leading your teams and ministries are often the last ones to ask for help. This talk is honest about what burnout looks like in a leader and what it looks like to keep serving from a full place instead of a depleted one.
Meet the speaker and author
Hi, I’m Rose
For years I was the capable one. I showed up, held it together, and looked fine doing it. Inside I was anxious and exhausted, sure that a stronger faith should have fixed that.
It took a breaking point to teach me what I tell women now: you can love Jesus and still need help, and needing help is not a lack of faith. I am not here to replace your doctor or your counselor. I am here to remind you that rest is allowed, that you are not alone, and that your story is not over.
