What if the most radical thing you could do for your health… was to stop?

In this deeply honest and joy-filled episode of Talk Healing To Me, Karen Dwyer chats with Wendy Riordan – founder of Nourish & Flow, full-time mother, business owner, and festival queen – about the power of rest, how burnout shows up in women’s lives, and why honouring your own rhythm is the greatest rebellion of all.

From ditching toxic wellness expectations to embracing glamping-style guilt-free retreats, Wendy shares how Rest Fest was born – and how healing happens when we stop trying to do it all.

If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t have time to rest” – this conversation is your permission slip to hit pause and reconnect with yourself.🌟 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

🌿 Why rest is the most undervalued tool in your healing journey

🌙 The truth about women, guilt, and the hustle cycle

🔥 How Nourish & Flow became a space for emotional release and deep nervous system reset

💤 The many types of rest (and why you need more than sleep)

💖 How sisterhood, simplicity, and space can change your life

🎪 Why this isn’t your typical “wellness” retreat
