Description

What if the drive to be resilient is really a lifelong survival mode, and rest feels more like betrayal than healing?

This story follows Vanessa, a Latina migrant and writer, as she navigates migration from Colombia to Montreal, wrestling with safety, guilt, and the unseen weight of beginning again. Around Shannon’s table, conversation opens up about what it means to seek belonging when your body won’t let its guard down, and how little moments of rest and connection can look holy—especially when rest feels out of reach.
