Hello Monday with Jessi Hempel

How rest boosts creativity and productivity: a guided practice with Octavia Raheem


Listen Later

Rest is essential. It’s like food or water; without it, we die. As today’s guest points out though, it’s also a sacred practice.

In today’s conversation, originally held live on Hello Monday’s Office Hours, Octavia Raheem joins Jessi Hempel to talk about, and to practice, rest. Octavia Raheem is a rest coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and author. Her latest book is called Rest is Sacred: Reclaiming Our Brilliance Through the Practice of Stillness.

She and Jessi discuss:

  • How rest sparks creativity and connection
  • Rethinking productivity through rest
  • How to build micro-rest practices into your days
  • The power of rest for self-reflection, personal growth, and clarity
  • Then, Octavia leads us in a transformative guided rest practice that combines mindfulness, relaxation, and breathing techniques.

    Continue the conversation with us at Hello Monday Office Hours! RSVP here to join us on the LinkedIn News page this Wednesday at 3 PM EST.
