139. No More Grind: How to Finally Rest ...

Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

1. The Nap Ministry’s Nap Bishop shares small, concrete ways to bring rest into our own lives – especially when rest seems impossible. 

2. Why so many of us feel like machines instead of humans – and the power of imagination as a spiritual practice to reconnect with our humanity and divinity.

3. Why grind culture – a collaboration of capitalism and white supremacy – wants to keep us exhausted, and how we can resist a culture of overwhelming busy-ness.  

4. Why everything changes when we embrace ease as our birthright. 

5. Creative ways to reimagine rest within our hectic daily lives.
