What is the most restful thing you've done during this holiday week? #Holidays #Rest #RestasResistance

Why is Just Rest topping the charts? Because world changers are tired — but we refuse to burn out. ✊ It's for activists, artists, healers who want to make a difference without sacrificing their well-being. justrest.buzzsprout.com/ #JustRestPodcast #RestAsResistance #ActivismPodcast

Even the smallest of lights (like a tiny baby) can change the world. Thanks, Pastor Beth. I needed to hear that tonight. #ChristmasEve #TinyRevolutions #Resist

Watching the GOAT for the millionth time. Linus reciting the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke gets me every time. Jazzy dancing is pretty rad, too. #HolidayFaves #CharlieBrownChristmas

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov I implore you to do whatever you can to renew the extended health care subsidies through the ACA. My premium is up by more than 50%. - A voting constituent in Urbana. #ACA #SupportSmallBusiness #SupportHealthCare

I recorded my first podcast today. I can’t wait to share it with you. #JustRest #PodcastLaunch #Jan1

This is one of the rare weeks when I'm thinking to myself, "Really? It's only Wednesday?"

One of my favorite things this year was doing a deep dive with @bertrandallain.bsky.social & @kris-ingersoll.bsky.social about one of my favorite movies, Contact (1997.) #MovieNerd #MediaLit #faithandscience

Joy, peace, and a strategic F-bomb or two. Check out my new live video with @heathervickery.bsky.social from earlier today. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll chose peace. 👉 open.substack.com/pub/defythet... #RestRebellion #CozyUprising #ChoosePeace #ChooseJoy

For whoever needs to hear this today: You don't have to do everything all at once. Progress can be slow and incremental. #JustRest #BurnoutRecovery #TakeYourTime

Having the right support is amazing. Every time I've had a bit of a freak out like -- oh, wait, who's doing that? Alesia Galati and the Galati Media Team have had my back. I can't wait to share the trailer of my Just Rest podcast episode on Dec. 18. Will you rate it and review it then?

I just made my favorite turkey rice soup with leftovers from Thanksgiving. So nourishing on these ridiculously cold and snowy days. #FoodasSelfCare #Foodie

#BoycottBlackFriday is a concerted effort to take dollars away from greedy, big box retailers and invest them back in the community. Here's two lists of businesses and creators who'd love your support and will invest local. 👉 kimromain.com/alignedoffer 👉 bit.ly/4pacjcy #ShopLocal #ShopSmall

Big box stores don’t need our help. Your local bakery, artist, maker, consultant and coach do. Challenge: Do your holiday shopping with intention this year and f' Bezos. #BuyLocal #ShopSmall #RestRevolution 📖 open.substack.com/pub/defythet...

Sleep deprived, having too many things on our plates, Alesia and I recorded the trailer to my new podcast, Just Rest. Riverside captured THIS photo of us. 😂 Trailer drops Dec. 18 🤩 Join my Substack: www.defythetrend.substack.com/ #JustRest #IndiePodcast #PodcastLaunch #ExcitedandTired #Squee

I used to believe giving my family a “good Christmas” meant spending more money. Turns out capitalism lied. This week’s Subtack article digs into values-based budgeting and ditching the pressure to overspend. 📖 open.substack.com/pub/defythet... #RestAsResistance #SlowHolidays #HolidayStressRelief

I just had a ✨blast✨ planning a vision boarding session for my group coaching community next week! #CoachLife #BurnoutRecovery #DreamBig

I used to kill myself getting gift boxes out in time for Christmas Eve. Now, I make cookies and send boxes when it truly feels fun and affordable. And you know what? No one has ever complained about them late. #settingholidayboundaries #relieveholidaystress 📖 open.substack.com/pub/defythet...

Gratitude isn’t polite — it’s radical rest. This Saturday, I’m teaching a 90-min gratitude ritual — gentle yoga + meditation to melt scarcity thinking + remember that we’re already enough. Join me → www.eventbrite.com/e/1871399519... #GratitudePractice #RestIsResistance #YogaForAll #RadicalRest

Here's a wild thought: Raise the minimum wage to an actual living wage and you'd basically eliminate the need for SNAP benefits in the first place. P.S. Would y'all just stop playing political volleyball with people's ability to eat.

For those of us with progressive leanings, yesterday's election feels good. Just a reminder about democracy, especially a democracy that is deeply flawed and toxic, governing is a very, very different and difficult thing. Stay active. Stay involved. Your candidates need you.

Feeling holiday burnout before the first snowflake? ❄️ What if your energy — not your to-do list — was the sacred gift this season? Read: Setting Holiday Boundaries: Stop Letting the Holidays Drain You #RestRevolution #HolidayStress #Boundaries #JustRest open.substack.com/pub/defythet...

🎉 Happy Ordination Anniversary to me! 🎉 I'm celebrating by recommitting myself to fighting authoritarianism, wh*te Christian nationalism, racism, patriarchy, toxic capitalism, trans and homophobia. #Rest #RestisResistance #ordinationanniversary

One of the things I actually kinda like about being an entrepreneur is that you're constantly reinventing yourself and what you offer to meet the moment. Here's what’s next in burnout recovery for me: 👉 www.defythetrend.com/community #DefyTheTrend #RadicalRest #LastLaunch

Things have evolved — for me and the people I serve. We need simpler, more sustainable ways to beat burnout. Duh. Before we move into what’s next, here’s your last chance to join Defy the Trend + get the full burnout recovery library. www.defythetrend.com/community #BurnoutRecovery #RestRebellion

I went to bed last night at 9:30 p.m. and have no regrets. #restrebel

At 8:35 p.m. I began wondering if it was too early to go to bed. That is perfectly OK. #RestRebel

This is tantamount to saying, "it's fine, let people starve."

Rewatched Contact (1997) for an episode of the @media-lit.bsky.social Pod w/ @bertrandallain.bsky.social & @kris-ingersoll.bsky.social — and realized it’s the perfect metaphor for my pod. Connection. Curiosity. Rest. 🚀 open.substack.com/pub/defythet... #JustRestPodcast #ContactMovie #RestRebellion

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! 🎉

I teared up at 3:58. 🥹 In my convo w/ Alesia Galati about launching Just Rest, she said something that hit me so deeply it stopped me cold. 🎥 Watch (under 6 mins): youtu.be/Jgea_zpgZF8 💡 Give to support the podcast: square.link/u/KGslefhX #JustRestPodcast #RestIsResistance #BurnoutRecovery

What if the very things grind culture shames us for — rest, slowing down, asking for help — were actually our greatest tools of resistance? That’s what I dug into w/ @heathervickery.bsky.social on our recent Substack Live.@ 🎥 📖 open.substack.com/pub/defythet... #RestisResistance

🎉 I just realized a cracked 100 followers. I'm not upset about that. Thanks for being here and listening to my intersectional feminist rants about why rest is resistance. #RestisResistance #Mindfulness #Milestone
