Weekly Cycle Check In: The Waning Moon: Embracing Rest & Breaking the Cycle of Overdoing

As we move into the waning moon phase, we are invited to slow down, release, and do less—but for many of us, that’s easier said than done. In a world that glorifies productivity, rest can feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or even impossible.In this week’s cycle check-in, I explore why slowing down is so hard and share practical, gentle ways to begin cultivating rest in ways that feel safe and doable. I introduce The R’s—a framework to help you create more balance, break cycles of stress and burnout, and shift away from the constant pressure to do more.Learning to honor your natural rhythms isn’t just an act of self-care—it’s an act of resistance against the patriarchal systems that disconnect us from our bodies and push us into chronic stress and depletion. This week, I guide you through ways to reclaim your rest, nourish yourself, and restore balance in a world that so often demands the opposite.✨ Inside this episode, I share:😴 Why slowing down can feel so hard—especially for women😴 How The R’s can help you break the cycle of overdoing and burnout😴 Simple, doable ways to embrace rest (even if it feels foreign or scary)🤲🏼 A somatic yin yoga practice from one of my favorite teachers on YouTube to support your journey into deeper relaxationClick hereSend us Fan MailLooking for support?
