Rewriting the Motherline: Choosing Rest for Myself and my Children - with Ali Schmitt

The Daring to Rest Podcast

In this tender episode of The Rested Mother Series, Ali Schmitt shares how the exhaustion she witnessed in her own mother—and later experienced herself as a mother of three—led her to seek a new way of being. Through yoga nidra, Ali began to break the generational cycle of depletion, reconnecting with her intuition and discovering how rest could nourish her from the inside out. Her story is a powerful testament to what becomes possible when a mother chooses rest, not only for herself, but for the legacy she leaves her children.

The Rested Mother Series shares 5 powerful short rest stories from Daring to Rest Facilitators who chose rest in the midst of motherhood, grief, burnout, and healing. These mothers dared to pause, listen, and reclaim themselves through yoga nidra and deep rest. You are invited to hear what happens when a mother rests—and rises rooted.
