Shirley Markant, PhD

Welcome back to the podcast!

In this episode, we talk about REST. Giving ourselves permission to rest (which can be a challenge due to our conditioning, particularly coming from academia), dissociating rest from an expectation for it to feel good or to be fully replenishing in whatever timeframe we've allotted for it, and why allowing ourselves to stop thinking and problem-solving can be a necessary component of rest. We talk about how the space created by rest is so important to create meaning and ultimately enable us to show up as who we want to be in the world. 
 
Thank you for listening!
