2020 is proving to have a very wicked sense of humor but, we’ve made it to September and for that we are grateful. After a week away your Work Baes are realizing that even in the dumpster fire we’ve been living through there are also beautiful things happening this year and one of them has been our reintroduction to rest. The main thing that tends to keep us from prioritizing our rest is CAPITALISM, aka that evil cloud hovering over our heads at all times. This week on Work Bae, we discuss all things capitalism … how it robs us of our time, energy and joy and how prioritizing rest is its own form of resistance. We hope that you find the time this week to check in with yourself and find time to relax and just be.
