Episode 14: Rest & Resist
Manage episode 474334557 series 3600391
💬 Episode Summary:
In this episode of That’s What She Said, we’re diving into the heart of how to stay grounded, connected, and clear in the midst of political chaos. When the world feels heavy and overwhelming, how do we resist burnout while continuing to show up for what matters?
I’ll talk about why rest is not a retreat from the work—but a vital part of it, and how grounding practices like yoga, meditation, and nature walks can bring you back to center. We’ll also explore the emotional and energetic weight we carry during turbulent times, and how practices like therapy, breathwork, EMDR, writing, massage, Reiki, and energy healing can help you reclaim your power and refocus your energy with intention.
This episode is your permission slip to pause, feel, and root down—so you can rise back up stronger, softer, and more whole.
