Episode Details

Why can't you rest, even when you finally lay down?

Rest isn't just sleep — it's a nervous system state. And most of us have forgotten how to actually let our bodies get there. 

🦋 You'll Discover:

• Why pushing through exhaustion instead of resting is actually a form of self-abandonment
• Why "the same rest routine every day" doesn't work for a woman's body — and what to do instead
• Three simple night habits that get your nervous system into real rest — not just hours in bed

✨ Coming Home Question: 

Where in your life are you still waiting for permission to rest — and what would it feel like to give it to yourself today?

👉🏼 Invitation to Free Workshop

I'm hosting Leading From Pleasure, a free workshop on August 19th, where you go into what it actually looks like to lead your life and your work from rest and pleasure instead of push and control. Sign up here: http://home.midlifebutterfly.ca/leading-from-pleasure
