Beyond the basement

The hardest thing about rest (and its secret reward)


Listen Later

We all know rest is important, but actually slowing down to stop? That’s another story. In this episode, I share my experience of slowing down and leaning into a winter cycle - what it really feels like to withdraw, rest, and go inward. Spoiler: it’s not easy.

I explore why we resist rest, what comes up when that happens, and why decelerating from the speed of the everyday is both essential and uncomfortable. But here’s the secret: when we finally do it, something unexpected happens. Inner wisdom reveals itself. We see more clearly how to ‘do’ life. Inside you too is an innate intelligence to help you course-correct, with all the knowledge and insight you’ll ever need to overcome life’s persistent challenges.

If you struggle to slow down (even when you want to), this episode is for you.
