I donโ€™t know about you, but Iโ€™ve definitely struggled with the idea that rest is a luxuryโ€”something I only deserve when everything else is done. In this episode, I share why rest is actually a non-negotiable, not a bonus, and how learning to truly rest has been a game changer for me. Iโ€™ll talk about my own experiences with burnout and how Yoga Nidra has helped me find deep, transformative rest. Itโ€™s so easy to get caught up in a culture that ties our worth to how much we produce, but Iโ€™m here to remind you: you deserve to rest, you deserve to set boundaries, and you deserve to prioritize your well-being. Letโ€™s talk about reclaiming that right to rest!
