Ep 120 Description:

“When you know what you stand for, then you can know what you don't stand for, and you can start to make those boundaries to be more on a rested path than off a rested path.” —Karen Brody

Rest is not merely a luxury, but a vital necessity for our well-being. When we prioritize rest, we open ourselves up to profound personal growth and the possibility of profound transformation. Discover how the power of rest can unlock new levels of resilience, creativity, and connection within ourselves in this week’s episode.

Karen Brody is the author of the acclaimed book "Daring to Rest" and the founder of the Daring to Rest method, a groundbreaking approach that has empowered thousands of women to reclaim their power through the practice of yoga Nidra meditation. As a respected voice in the realm of maternal wellness, Brody's insights and expertise have inspired a global community to prioritize rest and self-care.

Listen in as Karen shares her transformative birth experiences, her journey from community organizer to playwright, the importance of rest in postpartum recovery and everyday life, what yoga Nidra is and its benefits, and her free monthly "Yes to Rest" gatherings and a 40-day daring to rest program to encourage women to prioritize rest for their well-being and that of their families.
