Ep. 23 | The Permission to Rest

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about the permission to rest — how letting yourself stop, even briefly, can open the door to healing, balance, and grace. I share the story of my friend Michelle, who finally gave herself the gift of a break during our monthly IntenSati class — and what it taught me about control, help, and humility. We'll explore how letting go of "doing it all" can become an act of love, for ourselves and for others. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life could you give yourself permission to pause — to ask for help, to take a break, to stop holding everything together on your own?
