In this gentle episode, we explore the deep need for rest — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. So often, we’re caught in the cycle of doing, producing, and pushing forward, even when our bodies and hearts are asking us to slow down.
This is your reminder that rest is not laziness — it’s a form of resistance, a path to healing, and a birthright. Whether you’re in the thick of motherhood, grief, burnout, or just holding a lot lately, this space is for you.
🕊️ Let this be your permission to pause. You’re not behind. You’re still here.
Story Note:
If you’d like to go deeper, I’ve created a reflective journaling prompt to pair with this episode. You can find it on my Ko-fi page, along with other gentle tools for your healing journey:
