In this moving episode of The Rested Mother Series, Chrissy McGuire shares her journey as a single mother raising two children with special needs—and how rest became her anchor through childbirth trauma, caregiving, and profound heartbreak. From a high-achieving childhood shaped by hustle culture to the moment her first child was born unresponsive, Chrissy takes us through the raw, real moments that led her to reclaim rest as a sacred practice. Through yoga nidra, she found the courage to slow down, to feel, and to fill the cracks in her heart with gold. Her story is a radiant reminder for mothers that rest is not a pause from life—it’s a way to live it more fully.
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.
