“You must resist anything that doesn’t center your divinity as a human being. You are worthy of care.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“We are socialized into systems that cause us to conform and believe our worth is connected to how much we can produce. Our constant labor becomes a prison that allows us to be disembodied. We become easy for the systems to manipulate, disconnected from our power as divine beings and hopeless. We forget how to dream. This is how grind culture continues. We internalize the lies and in turn become agents of an unsustainable way of living.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

“When it comes to talking about trauma, we always walk the delicate line between too much and not enough, between what is too explicit and what is secretive, what is traumatizing and what is repressed and thus remains in its raw, wordless form. We are usually caught in that binary between the two extremes because when it comes to trauma, regulation is always a challenge.”

“Nothing we accomplish in life is totally free of the influence of spirit and community. We do nothing alone.”
― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto
