In this heartfelt episode, I'm sharing my journey through a recent two-week bed rest that taught me powerful lessons about listening to our bodies and the true meaning of rest. After being forced to completely disconnect, I discovered insights about intentional rest that I believe every busy entrepreneur and mom needs to hear.

✨ What You'll Learn:

• Why our bodies sometimes force us to take the rest we've been avoiding

• The forgotten wisdom of winter as nature's resting season

• How to recognize our body's signals before burnout hits

• The impact of constant connectivity on our families

🌟 Key Moments:

• My personal wake-up call and emergency room experience

• The realization about my phone addiction affecting my children

• Why winter rest is essential for spring abundance

• Simple ways to incorporate intentional rest into daily life

💭 Journal Prompts for Self-Reflection:

1. What was I avoiding or suppressing before I got sick?

2. If my body could speak right now, what would it tell me?

3. How can I include rest in my daily life before burnout forces it upon me?

4. When was the last time I truly disconnected from everything?

5. What simple rituals could I create to embrace slower phases of life?

🌿 Action Steps for Intentional Rest:

• Set boundaries with technology (especially during family time)

• Create afternoon rituals for genuine disconnection

• Honor winter as a natural season of rest

• Regular check-ins with your body's needs

• Embrace slowness without guilt
