In this episode, we dive into the deep medicine of sacred rest. What happens when you intentionally put everything down and step away from the constant pull of work, screens, and to-dos. Through the lens of Brenda’s personal Shabbat practice, we explore how ritualized pauses create room for desire, clarity, and real connection.
We live in a culture that celebrates hustle and constant output. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, creator, or all of the above, honoring your need for rest isn’t indulgent, it’s essential.
Let’s talk about how creating boundaries around downtime helps us reclaim our energy, re-center our values, and show up more fully in every part of life. Your version of rest doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. The key is discovering what truly replenishes you and protecting it like your wellbeing depends on it. Because it does.
