Why Rest Is The Secret Ingredient

This year, I committed to something transformative:
365 days of intentional rest.
Every day at 2 p.m., I meet myself for a Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) practice.
For someone like me - whose nervous system runs hot and who’s endlessly ambitious - this practice has become my anchor. Four years ago, I turned to Yoga Nidra during a difficult season of depression. It became my lifeline, my path back to balance. Today, it’s the rhythm that sustains me.
This tiny daily pause is the moment I repair my nervous system.
I drop out of the wired, go-go-go pace of the day and return home to myself.
Why does this matter?
Because your nervous system is the foundation of your well-being. When it’s nourished, everything flows more smoothly: your creativity, your relationships, your work, your energy.
I see this shift again and again in the women I work with. When rest becomes a rhythm instead of a reward, they thrive. They accomplish more with less force. They come alive again.
If you’re craving this kind of steadiness, I’d love to welcome you into The Rested Woman Mentorship this fall, or join me in Desert Hot Springs this March for The Rested Woman Restorative Retreat.

Rest isn’t selfish.
It’s how we remember who we are.
