Ep 171: Rest & Resilience: Thriving Through Motherhood

In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael explore the often-overlooked but essential aspect of self-care: rest.  Rest is much more than just sleep—it"s a holistic practice that encompasses physical, mental, emotional, sensory, creative, social, and spiritual well-being. They dive into why prioritizing rest, even in our busiest moments, is crucial for maintaining balance and resilience. Discover how incorporating rest into your daily routine can enhance your overall well-being, whether through restorative yoga, a peaceful walk, or simply finding moments of stillness. We"ll discuss practical strategies for achieving different types of rest, including minimizing sensory overload, engaging in different hobbies, and setting boundaries in a hyper-connected world. Join them as they unpack the importance of rest as a fundamental right and necessity—not something that needs to be earned, but something that should be woven into the fabric of our lives. This episode will leave you with valuable insights on how to balance grit with rest, honor your unique needs, and ultimately, thrive in both body and mind.A New Testament Gospera (A Sister Act Story), Act 1 - The Podcast Musical It's Jesus Christ Superstar meets Sister Act!
