The Power of Creating a Rest Legacy - Our 100th Episode! 1:23:02

1:23:02

Today on the Daring to Rest Podcast we are celebrating our 100th episode. 🎙️🎉 We're talking about the power of creating a rest legacy. This episode is in memory of Jaimee Roncone, one of the first Daring to Rest Facilitators. Jaimee showed everyone she touched what a rest legacy looks like - even as she was dying. In this episode I have gathered a few of the OG Daring to Rest Facilitators who knew and loved Jaimee for a conversation on...🛏️ what is a rest legacy? 🛏️ how Jaimee's life and death was an inspiration on living with rest at the center. 🛏️ why a rest practice like yoga nidra is also a death practice. I recently asked myself what I'm the most proud of about this podcast and this is what my body told me: I have worked soft on this podcast. I have let each episode be imperfect. I have had lots of fun making the podcast. And I know that this podcast has inspired women to dare to rest and share the power of rest. This feels like rest success. I am thankful for all the people who have joined me on the podcast throughout the years. I love having rest conversations. I keep wondering when I won't love it and it hasn't happened yet :) Our 100th episode represents what I think we do best at Daring to Rest: bring women together for important rest conversations. As always, I hope this episode impacts you in some rest way. Thanks for listening to the podcast. If you've enjoyed the podcast, I'd so appreciate you writing a review or leave a comment on Apple Podcasts or Spotify . If you don't listen there then please tell a few girlfriends about this podcast. Here's to daring to rest, and the rise of your Rested Woman. With love & rest somersaults, Karen Resources for today's episode can be found here: http://daringtorest.com/podcast/100…

Reimagining the Landscape of Work with Brigid Schulte 56:28

What if changing our relationship with grind culture requires imagining a new story? My guest today on the Daring to Rest Podcast thinks so. In the spring of 2014, I had the pleasure of speaking about daring to rest and then introducing the main speaker Brigid Schulte, who had just written her first book, Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time . The organizers of this gathering clearly got the equation right: the antidote to overwhelm is rest. Since writing her first book, Brigid, as a journalist and the director of the Better Life Lab, has continued her mission to help us navigate how we live our lives. In today's episode she speaks with me about her new book, Overwork , and how other people and countries are stepping forward with vision and imagination to tell a new story about the way we work.

Today I am getting personal with you, talking about how I run my rest business and a few Daring to Rest origin stories to understand how I even had the idea over fifteen years ago to start a business focused on rest. As some of you know, I had a long history of panic attacks. At times I literally felt like a hostage in my home, unable to even open the door without the panic attacks starting again. Today I'm sharing how this shifted, the wild prescription I was given for the panic attacks, why I started a rest business, and what principles have worked well for me to grow my rest business. You'll learn about the yoga nidra and other influences that have gone into creating the Daring to Rest community, and hear a few really funny stories about my road to becoming rested and running a rest business. (At least I think they're funny :) Happy listening! This is the final episode of our Transform Your Life and Your Wellness Business series.
