The Ancestral, Collective Tiredness of Women

In today’s episode, Rachel is the type of tired that you feel in your soul, in your bones, and in your identity itself. It’s a feeling that stems from the roles and responsibilities she has in her life right now, but it goes even deeper and older than that - into the trauma she felt as a child and the burdens placed on her back then. Rachel attempts to unpack this experience by sharing specific examples from her own family. 

If you are a woman or a mother, you may understand exactly what she’s talking about. Everywhere you look, women are carrying things. And there is a collective and ancestral feeling of tiredness that comes with it. Is there some rest that needs to be taken now for what could not be rested back then? Rachel shares the one self-care practice she has in her life right now that is helping her through it. If you are feeling tired too, tune into this episode so we can all be in it together.
