Rest as Resistance: How Rest Can Be Radical
Manage episode 483915829 series 3652195
In this episode, we explore how rest can be a radical act of resistance against grind culture, capitalism, and inequitable workplaces. We unpack the difference between commercialized self-care and true, collective healing, and why rest is deeply political. Join us as we reframe rest not as a luxury, but as a necessary tool for liberation and community care.
