Rest is an act of rebellion.

Rest is an act of rebellion.

I’ve had several powerful conversations with female clients lately, especially mothers, who struggle to allow themselves rest. And as a woman and mother myself, I get it.

But guaranteed, our male partners or colleagues don’t think twice when granting themselves personal time. Rest, to them, is their birthright. But for us women, giving ourselves permission to do absolutely nothing is riddled with guilt and shame, and before I go any further, let me just remind you that this is not your fault. The system is designed this way.

Because imagine a world where women were fully rested, needs met, healthy, safe, and at our full creative capacity… that notion terrifies the status quo and the system benefits from our exhaustion. Women (and mothers in particular) are the most powerful, creative, productive, and courageous creatures on this planet.

So in case you needed permission (you don’t), here’s your sign to put your computer away, go lay down, and do absolutely nothing. You’re changing the world, I promise. 💫
