Wrestling with Rest

🎧 Join Nicole & Dora on this powerful episode of Ginger Ale Won’t Fix This as they explore the radical, necessary act of REST. In a world that glorifies hustle and nonstop productivity, we’re pausing to talk about why rest is a form of resistance—and why we all need more of it. Inspired by Tricia Hersey’s Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone who’s been feeling burnt out, stuck, or guilty about slowing down.

 

💬 What’s in store:

•Personal Stories: Nicole & Dora share their journeys with wrestling against rest guilt and how they’re learning to reclaim rest without shame.

•Expert Insights: We explore why rest deprivation has deep cultural and historical roots, especially in marginalized communities.

•Practical Tips: Easy rest rituals to integrate into your daily life and how to rest while navigating stressful seasons like job searching.

•Fun Breaks: A little Sims 4 talk and how our digital lives reflect our real needs for care and rest.

 

✨ Key Takeaways:

•Rest is resistance—not laziness.

•Your worth is not tied to your productivity.

•Small acts of rest can lead to big shifts in well-being.

•Music can be a powerful tool for slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.
