Whew I definitely needed to hear all of this right now. I'm juggling a few things, and caregiving in particular is a source of chronic stress for me, so when I get sick, I feel like it lingers so long. Thank you for this reminder. 💖

Yes. I completely understand about the impacts of caregiver stress! It really takes a toll on you. I’m so glad the writing is resonating! thank you for reading.

The shift I’ve been learning to make —

Old: Rest is “lazy” down time

New: Rest as play is sacred medicine

Active rest isn’t just a break — it’s part of the healing. 🪴

I listened to this podcast this morning, and OMG! This resonated with my soul ! Play is definitely important for adults …. I am going to create my “joy menu” and had play to my life
