When the Body Says Pause: A Therapist’s Week of Rest, Resistance & Realignment

This week, we’re slowing down.After being knocked out by the flu for over a week, I found myself reflecting on what happens when the body forces a pause we didn’t plan for. As someone who grew up valuing productivity and showing up for everyone else, being unable to function brought up old stories, internal pressure, guilt, and — surprisingly - clarity.In this episode, I share what the pause taught me, why rest is harder than it sounds, the emotional layers of slowing down, and a gentle somatic check-in to help you reconnect with your body.If you’ve been moving fast, pushing through, or ignoring the whispers of fatigue, this one’s for you.
