    This Is Rest: A Guided Meditation to Return to You – Reclaiming Rest pt. 4
    Jun 19 2025
    If you’re tired of being tired — but rest still feels impossible — this episode is for you.
    We’re closing out the Reclaiming Rest series on Juneteenth with something different: not a conversation, but an experience. A guided meditation designed to meet you exactly where you are.

    If your nervous system won’t power down...
    If your shoulders never seem to drop...
    If the idea of rest feels nice, but not safe — this practice offers a gentle way in.

    No need to be perfect.
    No need to impress.
    Just small, honest moments of softness, stillness, and nervous system relief.

    Because rest isn’t a reward. It’s your birthright.
    And today, we return to it — together.

    Reimagining Rest: Tiny Moments of Relief - Reclaiming Rest Series pt. 3
    Jun 12 2025
    If deep rest feels hard right now, let’s start with what’s possible.

    We’ve been taught that rest means shutting down, doing nothing, or waiting for the perfect moment of peace. But for high-functioning women raised in hustle culture, stillness can feel unfamiliar — even impossible.

    In this third episode of the Reclaiming Rest series, we challenge everything we’ve been taught about what rest “should” look like.

    This isn’t about productivity hacks or setting up perfect rest scenarios. It’s about everyday acts that send gentle signals to your nervous system that it’s safe to pause — even briefly. I’m also sharing my personal struggles with rest and offering real-life ways to create micro-moments of relief that feel doable inside a full life.

    Because rest isn’t always about stopping.
    Oftentimes, it’s about softening, one small choice at a time.
    Let's begin to remimagine what rest in the real world can feel and look like.

    The Hidden Reason Rest Feels So Damn Hard - Reclaiming Rest Series Pt. 2
    Jun 5 2025
    If rest was just about stopping, you’d feel better by now.
    But instead, you pause — and still feel wired, tense, or agitated.
    What if I told you this isn’t a mindset problem or a lack of motivation?

    In part 2 of the Reclaiming Rest series, we uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface: the hidden nervous system patterns, unconscious pressure, and protective reflexes that make rest feel impossible.

    This isn’t about doing more to relax — it’s about learning what’s keeping you “on” even when you’re still.

    Because until your body feels safe,
    rest won’t feel like relief.
    It’ll feel like resistance.

    Listen now to start finding the relief you deserve.

    Why Rest Isn’t Working for You - Reclaiming Rest Series Pt 1
    May 29 2025
    You’re not failing at rest. The way you’ve been taught to rest is failing you.

    In this first episode of a four-part series, we’re naming what no one’s really talking about: the guilt, confusion, and disappointment that comes when you try to rest — and still don’t feel restored. You’ve done the journaling. You’ve taken the nap. You’ve said the affirmations. So why does it still feel like nothing’s changed?

    We’ll explore six subtle ways our current version of rest is failing us, and why it has nothing to do with your ability — and everything to do with the system you’ve internalized.

    This series leads up to Juneteenth — and it’s about more than just pausing. It’s about reclaiming rest in a way that actually feels like rest.

  • When You Want to Fall Apart but Don’t Trust Yourself To

    When You Want to Fall Apart but Don’t Trust Yourself To
    May 22 2025
    You’re tired. Maybe beyond tired. But stopping feels dangerous—like if you really let go, you might not come back from it.

    This episode is for the woman who wants to fall apart but doesn’t trust herself to. The one who keeps going because too many people are counting on her… and she doesn’t know how to stop. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “Not yet. Not now. I can’t afford to break,” this is the moment to pause.

    No fixing. No to-do list.
    Just truth, recognition, and a voice that says: “I see you.”

  • You Knew Better… But You Still Didn’t Listen — Here’s Why

    You Knew Better… But You Still Didn’t Listen — Here’s Why
    May 15 2025
    You knew better… but you still didn’t listen even though that gut feeling was loud.
    The signs were there. And still — you overrode your own knowing.

    Now the loop won’t stop: “Why didn’t I listen to myself?”

    And what makes it even more frustrating? We keep doing it.

    This episode isn’t about giving yourself Grace or self-forgiveness as it's deeper than that.

    We’re talking about:
    • What happens when you override your intuition
    • The internal loop of self-betrayal
    • Why the voice inside gets louder — not quieter — with time
    • And the grief no one talks about
    If you’ve ever been stuck in that loop, questioning why you keep ignoring your intuition… This conversation is for you.

    And if you’re starting to wonder what it would take to finally stop that loop —
    I’m working on something that might help.

    When Consistency Is Just Perfectionism in Disguise — And How to Tell the Difference
    May 1 2025
    Consistency can be powerful. But it can also become the mask we wear to prove we’re enough.
    In this episode, we explore what it looks like when your drive to be consistent isn’t coming from devotion, but from the need to be perfect.

    You’ll learn how to spot the signs that perfectionism is hiding behind your routine — and how to shift into a version of consistency that’s rooted in self-respect, not self-pressure.
