Description:Rest isn’t earned. It’s essential. And yet, for so many of us, slowing down feels like a luxury—or a guilt trip. In this healing session, we’ll explore how burnout impacts the nervous system in midlife and how to honor your body’s need for deep rest. You’ll learn rest rituals that actually restore you (no more doom-scrolling in bed), explore what it means to stop over-functioning, and begin to redefine productivity on your own terms.

What You’ll Receive:

  • A themed 1.5-hour live Zoom session
  • A guided mind-body healing skill
  • Opening & closing meditations
  • Reflection prompts, digital tools & resources
  • Access to mental health and wellness professionals
  • A safe, supportive space to be real, raw, and replenished
