Episode 35 - Rest
Manage episode 452186813 series 3550177
In a society that lionizes “hustling” and “the grind”, rest can feel like a revolution. In this episode, we talk about the different types of rest, why rest is important, and how we think about it in our own lives. We also dive into why modern work isn’t working for our brains and how it makes it harder for us to rest and recover the way we need. Robyn sees the wonderful poet Shane Koyczan live and Michelle tries to save (digital) fox cubs from extinction.
