Midlife is a masterclass in resilience—one where grief, growth, and exhaustion all demand a seat at the table. In this episode, we talk about why rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a survival strategy and how embracing rest can actually make you stronger in the hardest moments of life.
As I navigate my own season of caregiving, grief, and transitions, I’m sharing the lessons that have reshaped how I show up for myself and my loved ones. We’ll unpack:
✅ The hidden emotional cost of always being "strong"
✅ Why rest is a radical act of self-preservation (especially for caregivers)
✅ How grief teaches us about resilience—and why midlife prepares us for more than we think
If you’ve ever felt like you have to push through exhaustion just to keep up, this episode is for you. Grab your tea, your journal, or just a quiet moment for yourself—let’s talk about how rest can be the reset we need.
