What if rest isn't just about taking a break – but about disrupting generational patterns and creating authentic legacies? In this conversation with Shawna Wells, an executive coach who brings together legacy work and rest practices, we explore how rejecting others' soundtracks can lead to revolutionary self-discovery and leadership.
As founder of B Is For Black Brilliance and 7 Gen Legacy Group, Shawna shows how slowing down can actually propel us forward. Through her own journey of understanding that "all rules have been made up," she shares powerful insights about creating sustainable success by writing our own rules.
In this episode, we explore:
- How rest serves as fuel for authentic leadership and creative possibility
- The courage to reject "someone else's soundtrack" and create our own rhythms
- Why legacy work requires specificity and presence
- Breaking generational cycles of overwork while honoring ancestral wisdom
- The powerful realization that our ancestors rejoice when we rest
- Understanding that rest both heals and propels us forward
Discover how writing your own rules through rest can transform not just your legacy, but the legacies of generations to come. Plus, experience a guided rest practice that bridges the seen and unseen, awakening spiritual connections through intentional pause.
