What will we be able to access and identify when we have aligned with our goals and dreams? I think about all the times busyness and exhaustion have stolen my joy and possible life-giving connections. How many times have you attempted to connect with a friend or loved one but a brutal work schedule and a pull to hustle more have severed the connection, stolen your time together, or made it almost impossible to bond?

"What we have internalized as productivity has been informed by a capitalist, ableist, patriarchal system. Our drive and obsession to always be in a state of “productivity” leads us to the path of exhaustion, guilt, and shame. We falsely elieve we are not doing enough and that we must always be guiding our lives toward more labor."

"We believe rest is a luxury, privilege, and an extra treat we can give to ourselves after suffering from exhaustion and sleep deprivation. Rest isn’t a luxury, but an absolute necessity if we’re going to survive and thrive. Rest isn’t an afterthought, but a basic part of being human. Rest is a divine right. Rest is a human right. We come into the world prepared to love, care, and rest."

"The lack of an open pathway to rest has never been given to most living in a capitalist system. There is no blueprint or cookie-cutter way to get to our liberation."
