Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
What if rest isn't just about recharging – but about remembering who you truly are? In this soul-nourishing conversation with Milicent Johnson, a visionary leader who has found her calling in creating sacred spaces for Black women, we explore how embracing rest transforms both personal journey and collective liberation.
Through her work as founder of the Octavia Fund and her own awakening to the power of rest, Milicent weaves together her Black lineage's gifts of radical imagination with the practice of deep restoration. She shares a powerful story about connecting with her unborn daughter during a moment of surrender, showing us how slowing down can actually amplify our impact.
In this episode, we explore:
Why rest is pure, undiluted fuel for our dreams
How we can turn from productivity to true creativity
The way rest connects us to our ancestral wisdom
What becomes possible when we stop efforting and start allowing
Plus, experience a guided rest meditation that welcomes you exactly as you are – whether you're feeling exhausted or energized.
