The Daring to Rest Podcast

How Rest Helped Me Mother Myself and My Daughter - with Jenny Weston


Listen Later

In this honest and soul-stirring episode of The Rested Mother Series, Jenny Weston shares her journey from chronic overachievement and deep exhaustion to a life anchored in rest. Raised to equate love with doing, and later navigating motherhood, separation, and financial challenge, Jenny reached a breaking point that led her to the healing power of yoga nidra. What began as a tool for survival became a practice of self-mothering, helping her rebuild her nervous system, reconnect with her inner child, and model a rested life for her daughter. Her story is a beautiful testament to the quiet power of rest to restore, rewire, and reimagine what's possible.

The Rested Mother Series shares 5 powerful short rest stories from Daring to Rest Facilitators who chose rest in the midst of motherhood, grief, burnout, and healing. These mothers dared to pause, listen, and reclaim themselves through yoga nidra and deep rest. You are invited to hear what happens when a mother rests—and rises rooted.
