  • Collective Rest for Liberation with Cassandra Lam

    This week, I’m joined by Cassandra Lam, founder of Collective Rest and somatic healing facilitator. Cassandra’s work reclaims rest as a tool for liberation, inviting us to connect mind, body, heart, and soul. She shares her powerful personal story—rooted in her identity as the child of Vietnamese refugees—and the ways it shaped her mission to transform burnout into healing and wholeness.


    We dive into why rest is revolutionary, how it challenges oppressive systems, and the discomfort that comes with slowing down. Cassandra offers actionable tools to help you honor your needs and embrace stillness, even in the chaos. This episode is a reminder: rest isn’t just a break—it’s a way back to yourself.
