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!
