'Join me, as they talk about the concept of rest as it pertains to the chronically sick and disabled; from neurotransmitters to mental health, ableism, to how workplaces benefit from our rest skills. I consider us to be experts at maintaining and sustaining in a world that tries so often to silence, ignore and get rid of us.
