Lorelle talks about her experience grappling with the tension between rest and capitalism. In spite of her daily reminders to her patients and loved ones to practice rest and self-care, she often struggles to extend the same generosity to herself. Lorelle articulates the question: who am I when I’m not in service? Freddie empathizes with this question and – spoiler alert – together they come to the conclusion that finding balance in capitalism is literally impossible.
