WHY THE RESTED EXISTS

Waiting can take up a lot of room. It doesn’t have to take over your whole life.

I know how easy it is to plan your future around one thing you’re praying will happen. I also know there is still a woman that God has predestined you to become on that journey. That’s why I’m building the rested: a place to hold the hope, keep living and belong.

Steward your Now.

THE POST THAT STARTED IT ALL

How we got here.

You all rallied around my story, and God told me to build. Because your story used to be mine, and I want my process and promise to become your hope.
What started as one post quickly became something much bigger.

the original post
Post slide: I didn’t become a wife until 40.Post slide: I didn’t become pregnant until 41.Post slide: At 30, I thought I’d missed all my chances. I thought I had fallen behind.Post slide: The years you think you’ve lost are often the years God uses to build you.Post slide: Your life isn’t over because it didn’t happen “on time.” God doesn’t waste waiting seasons. He prepares you to carry the weight that you’re praying for.

SAY IT LOUDER 🔥🙌 no fear of timing in Jesus name!! Rooted in Him means trusting Him in each area of your life… especially a marriage.

@pretty_womanxox

Please share, a women in waiting I'll be 41 next year. I started a journal of the Godly qualities of a husband I'm asking God🙏🏼

@caroline.bjj3

It’s never ‘on time’ if it’s the wrong man. It’s never ‘late’ if it’s the right one. 🤍

@roxannesservices

Thanks for speaking my feelings argh!

@krazykel25

I would love the prayers! Ive never even told anyone ive been starting to feel like this...I just stumbled across your page and now started following!

@emilymorgan210

I was so sure a husband and family would be part of my life… I’ve had baby names picked out since I was 19. Now I’m 42 and perimenopausal, and perpetually single with no hope in sight. Best I can do is try to be happy for the young couples and the new parents and support them the best I can

@mollykate1987

This is me. Almost 39 and still single after getting into a relationship that lasted a year and then ended.

@suzy.otaki

Me, not marrying the right or even the wrong man later 🙂🤣

I needed this today, this journey is driving me mad 🥺 thank you 🫶🏼

@noramandwi

I am 35 years old, have never had a relationship before… I almost gave up on gods plan for me for falling in love, but deep down I know he has his message, his lessons and a life that he choose for me which is way better than the one i made up for myself… I decided to focus on myself and be myself and go with gods flow …

@mimibanks

What you think is late is actually right on time ❤️

@saltysunshinebabe

@evie_phillips - thank you for this sweet note of encouragement!! ❤️ Means a lot to me!! ❤️

@cycleofmuses

I have felt each and every one of these! I’m 40, single and don’t have children yet. It took a lot of inner work to re-establish real joy for marriage and babies happening to everyone in my life and not yet for me. 40 was the ultimate threshold I didn’t want to cross, and having to face it single and with no children brought a strange kind of release. I’m finally at a place where I can witness my timeline with curiosity and excitement, rather than dread. But what I find hardest, currently, is finding joy and excitement for my day to day. I’m not ungrateful or depressed….just…..feeling like things are mundane. I’m ready to champion a partner and share experiences. I’m ready to pour into children. I’ve done everything I’ve wanted to do and I’m ready for the next chapter. I feel like I have peace, but no ZEAL! That’s my newest task—to try and find renewed interest in a day to day that is navigated solo. I feel deeply I will have a family—so I’m trying to enjoy this season before it ends 🤍. Thanks for sharing your story. Stirs hope!

THE PROOF

This was bigger than one post.

VIEWS IN LESS
THAN 60 DAYS
VIRAL POSTS ON WAITING, THE TESTS + MY TESTIMONY
WOMEN’S GROWTH AND FOLLOWERS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

Not because women needed another reminder to “be patient.” They needed someone to finally say:

You can want what’s next without putting your whole life on hold until it gets here.

The rested is where that conversation becomes something more.

JOIN THE WAITLIST →
WHO THIS IS FOR

You can be grateful for yourlife and still want something more.

Maybe it’s marriage. A baby. Healing. A fresh start. Or an idea that keeps finding its way back to you, even after you’ve politely asked it to wait until things calm down.

You love God. You’re doing your best. You would also appreciate a little clarity on the timeline.

The rested is for the woman who wants honest friendship, space to grow, and encouragement to do something with the life in front of her. You don’t need a business, a five-year plan, or a beautifully packaged testimony to belong.

there’s room for all of that here.

THE PERSPECTIVE SHIFT

There are two ways to wait.

THIS ISN’T FOR THE WOMAN

waiting for her life to start.

“I’ll live when…”

  • When I get married.
  • When I have the baby.
  • When I heal.
  • When I finally know what’s next.
  • When I have the money.
  • When I have the time.
THIS IS FOR THE WOMAN

who wants to live while she waits.

“I’ll live now.”

  • Pray for what’s next.
  • Build what’s in front of you.
  • Grow into who God is calling you to be.
  • Find women to walk with.
  • Make a life you don’t need to escape from.

This has been built for you!

THE THREE Bs

Belonging. Becoming. Building.

BELONGING
you’re supported.

A place to exhale, be seen, and get support.

Find women you can be honest with. Share the prayer request, celebrate the good news, or say, “This week has been a lot.”

You don’t have to explain your season here.

BECOMING
you’re growing.

Growing into the woman who can steward the promise.

Make room for deeper faith, stronger confidence, healthier rhythms, and the choices shaping who you’re becoming.

You don’t have to arrive before you’re allowed to grow.

BUILDING
you’re moving.

Take action on what God has placed in front of you.

Start the business. Rebuild the routine. Explore the idea. Make room for the calling.

You don’t have to know the whole plan to take the next step.

HERE’S WHAT WE’LL LAUNCH

Take a peek inside.

COMMUNITY

Women to walk with.

Honest conversation, shared prayer, encouragement, and spaces to belong with women who understand the season you’re in.

COACHING + CHALLENGES

Support that moves you forward.

Live coaching, guided challenges, accountability, and practical next steps to help you grow while you wait.

DEEP DIVES + MINI PATHS

Help for the real-life parts of waiting.

Focused resources across faith, relationships, fertility, health, confidence, business, and the life you’re building now.

HI, I’M EVIE

Married at 40, pregnant at 41, changing careers at 42, and pulling up a chair for you.

I’m the friend you can pour your heart out to, cry with, pray with, and then text three hours later because you just had a business idea and need someone to tell you if it’s brilliant or mildly unhinged.

I know what it’s like to wait on the thing you want while still having a whole life sitting right in front of you. I’ve waited, pivoted, built businesses, started over, fallen in love later than planned, and learned that God can be doing a lot in your life even when the one thing you’re praying for still hasn’t happened.

That’s why I’m building the rested.

This is the place to bring the heart desire you’re praying for and the idea you’re building. There’s room, hype, and help for both here.

We can pray for the ring and still build a life we love. We can pray for the baby and talk about the business. We can trust God with the timeline and still do something with today.
I’ve saved a seat for you, come join the party!
bless you big, Evie

WHAT WOMEN HAVE SAID ABOUT WORKING WITH EVIE
“Evie’s story perfectly aligned with mine. At 30, I was lost and had no hope of finding a husband, her community has given me purpose and other women to talk to, and I no longer feel alone. Don’t even question joining this community, do it now!!!”
A MEMBER OF THE RESTED
COMMON QUESTIONS

Good questions.

Do I need to be building a business?+

No. Building might mean a business, a new habit, a creative project, or a more intentional life. Your next step gets to look like yours.

Is this only for single women or women waiting for a baby?+

No. Those stories are part of mine, and they’re welcome here. So are women navigating marriage, motherhood, healing, reinvention, and questions about what comes next.

Is this a Christian community?+

Yes. Faith is part of our foundation and our conversations. You can bring your questions along with your hope.

Are the calls included in the membership?+

Yes. Live group coaching with me is included in your membership. There’s no additional fee to join those calls.

BECOME A FOUNDING MEMBER

Let’s make room for what comes next.

The rested is taking shape with the women who join it. Bring your perspective, your questions, and the part of your life you’re ready to give some attention.

You can still want what you’re praying for. You can also start building something good today.
