It's publication day for Rest is Sacred: Reclaiming Our Brilliance Through the Practice of Stillness by Octavia Raheem! The new book is available today everywhere books are sold! Get your copy here.

 

Thank you so much for tuning in to this special series of the podcast focused on my new book, The Rest Revolution: How to Reclaim Your Rhythm and Conquer Burnout When Overworking Has Become the Norm, which comes out on November 13th.

The Rest Revolution isn’t just about rest; it’s about the great realignment that is happening in this country. People are slowly waking up to the idea that good lives require more than work and achievement. Good lives require you getting in alignment with the purposeful work, key relationships, and energizing activities that are most important to you. 

About Today's Episode

In this episode, I sit down with the rest queen Octavia Raheem to discuss the transformative power of rest and the journey from burnout to healing. Octavia shares her personal experiences with burnout, the importance of stillness, and how she became a rest practitioner. We explore the significance of community in healing and the impact of communal rest through retreats and the need to prioritize rest and self-care in a fast-paced world. 

Octavia Faith Ann Raheem and I explore the transformative power of gathering, the importance of co-regulation in nervous systems, and the embodied experiences of rest. We discuss how leaders can benefit from rest, the role of imagination in problem-solving, and the significance of creating safe communal spaces for healing and rejuvenation. The dialogue emphasizes practical tools for integrating rest into daily life and the collective responsibility to foster environments that support well-being.

 

Rest is Sacred: Reclaiming Our Brilliance Through the Practice of Stillness is available today everywhere books are sold! Get your copy here.
