They discuss the different forms of rest women may need, including sensory, mental, emotional, physical, and soulful rest.They also explore how old beliefs and the stories we create can keep us in a constant state of fight or flight, and how gratitude, stillness, boundaries, and reconnecting with what is true can help us respond differently.This conversation is for the woman who is tired of always being the strong one and needs the reminder that she is already worthy, enough, and allowed to rest.What You’ll LearnHow stress may affect the body beyond emotional overwhelmWhy the nervous system prioritizes safety during stressful seasonsWhy doing more is not always the right answerThe difference between sleep and other forms of restWhy women often need sensory and mental restHow unprocessed emotions can contribute to exhaustionWhat soulful rest can look like in everyday lifeHow the stories we create can increase stressWhy identifying a feeling is different from building a story around itHow gratitude can help redirect attention toward what is goodWhy choosing only two daily priorities may reduce overwhelmHow to reconnect with the belief that you are worthy and enoughResources & Links:🔹Dr. Alicia’s LinkedIn🔹Dr. Alicia’s Instagram🔹Dr. Alicia’s Facebook🔹Dr. Alicia’s YouTube🔹Dr. Alicia’s Website🔹Worthy of Rest🔹Join Morgan's Cooking Club!
