How do you rest…right now?! 

When the world is on fire and it feels unrelenting, how do you take care of yourself? In this episode I break down:

  • how rest is an opportunity to sustain the work, not bypass it
  • how an urgency all or nothing mindset leads to burnout 
  • how we have to know rest personally to better fight for it collectively

I don't say it's easy but you know our rest is necessary!
