Rest is Productive: A guided relaxation practice to find rest and reconnection to self when it all feels too much

Welcome to the 27th episode of The Mom Mentality Podcast! This SOLO episode, is one where I offer you space to rest and connect with your emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them. I guide you through a light stream exercise with visualizing and connection to your body. Most of us were not taught how to connect with our body and emotions and often get stuck analyzing and intellectualizing. I know this practice will be refreshing and nourishing for you and you can come back to it as many times as you need. 

 

I would love to hear from you about how you liked this practice and what you noticed as you did it! 

 

I hope you found this episode to be inspiring and transform the way you view yourself and motherhood. I am so grateful to be on this motherhood journey with you! 

 

I know your time is SO precious as a mom! If you enjoyed this episode and it resonated with you it would mean so much for you to share the episode with a fellow mom friend or put it on your social media. 

 

I look forward to seeing you back here next week for a GUEST episode!
