Rest opens portals to our deepest creativity and intuitive wisdom. In this powerful conversation with Miho Kubagawa, we witness how intentional rest practices transformed her from someone "really good at sending emails" into a leader creating bold visions for education and community. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama to Japanese immigrant parents who immigrated from Tokyo in 1976, Miho brings a unique perspective to rest and leadership that honors both her cultural heritage and Southern roots.
Through her journey from middle school math teacher to startup leadership to coaching mission-driven founders, Miho shares how replacing early morning Slack messages with sacred morning rituals unlocked her authentic dreams. Now based back in her hometown of Birmingham, she combines her startup expertise with rest-centered leadership to support entrepreneurs while nurturing her own creative practices through gardening, writing, and community building.
In this episode, we explore:
- The transformative power of creating screen-free morning rituals
- How rest awakens forgotten passions and dormant creativity
- Breaking free from executing others' visions to manifesting your own dreams
- Discovering ancestral spiritual practices hidden in plain sight
- Setting a new pace for leadership, especially as a woman of color
Experience a guided rest practice that connects us to ancestral wisdom and protection through intentional pause. Plus, discover how embracing rest can transform not just your professional life, but your connection to creativity, spirituality, and joy.
