Treasure Trunk of Trauma Series: Part II: Rest — The Medicine Your Soul Has Been Waiting For

We’ve been conditioned to keep moving, to push through the pain, to always “do more.” But real healing isn’t about hustling harder — it’s about giving yourself permission to rest. [Series Live Video Watch Here]

The Sacred Pause

Rest is not laziness. Rest is medicine. It tells your nervous system: You are safe now. It allows the body to reset, the heart to soften, and the soul to breathe. Without rest, we stay in survival mode — unable to hear the whispers of healing calling us forward.

What Rest Looks Like in Midlife

Rest isn’t always about sleep or stillness. It can be stepping outside to feel the sun on your skin. Saying no without apology. Turning off your phone. Creating space in your day for nothingness — and realizing how nourishing that can be.

The Shift That Happens in Rest

When we rest, we stop reacting from our wounds and begin responding from our wisdom. It’s in this sacred pause that our next aligned step reveals itself.
