Oh, the audacity to be well rested, to rest without guilt! We get to reclaim rest as a part of listening to ourselves, living an embodied existence (rather than from our heads), caring for our needs (rather than bypassing or talking ourselves out of them), and resisting capitalism's attempt to use us up and burn us out.

Check out Tricia Hersey's Nap Ministry and her book Rest is Resistance.

The Order-Disorder-Reorder framework is found in Richard Rohr's book The Wisdom Pattern.

Come explore with me - who we are, and what we need to thrive. When we approach the inner physics of human nature with curiosity and compassion, we find it. We will explore what a needs-based (rather than authority-based) life and society could look like perspectives, voices, and ways of knowing that have been left out for too long. Join me to collectively challenge worldviews and systems that feed off of, and perpetuate, trauma.

Some episodes I will be flying solo, and other episodes, I will be hosting guests. I will be drawing from such frameworks as Internal Family Systems & Liberation Psychology, as well as the frameworks and viewpoints guests bring in to share with us.
