S2/E33. Healing our relationship with Rest with Nehanda Truscott Reid
We are at the end of Season 2!
I end with this solo episode where I reflect on what rest is, what it isn't, why its so important, why we find it so hard as women and mothers and some ways we might begin reframing rest as a sacred practice rather than something linked to guilt and shame.
