    January Doesn't Want Your Resolutions

    Send us a text I get iiiiit. January is the beginning of the year. You want a fresh start. In fact, it's your fresh start and you want it now. 😂 But what if I told you that's not how this works?  We aren't just resting to reimagine a better life for ourselves but a better collective paradigm. How do we meet this moment with a sustainable and comprehensive answer?  Listen to this episode for nuggets and a journal prompt to try.  *NOTES*  I cuss a little so mind your headphones. Also, while I'm still a team of one, you're going to get these raw conversations. Meaning you might hear Duchess in the background, you'll definitely hear me say uhhh and "right?" a lot, and we'll aaaall be okay. Because I'd rather get it to you than not at all. K, byeeeee with love.  If you want more about rest, joy, and care while giving a damn about the state of our world, find us online: Join our newsletter, the Rest Stop for more insights and tips Book your personal guided rest session, for a much needed break Read our substack for more rest observations and a peek at the book Buy me a tea to support the work Follow moi on YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram
