About this listen
Soft Girl Season, Ep. 1 — Rest Is Resistance
In this season kick-off, Marquita invites you to reclaim one of your most overlooked superpowers: rest. Not the crash-on-the-couch kind—real, intentional, soul-refreshing rest. We unpack why gentleness is not shrinking, how “rest is resistance” in a burnout culture, and the seven types of rest (physical, mental, emotional, sensory, creative, social, spiritual) so you can name what you actually need. You’ll learn three simple ways to pause on purpose—schedule white space, name your need, and set a soft boundary—and you’ll get a 15-minute daily reset challenge to start today. This is your permission slip to slow down, feel more, and rise gently. 💙
You’ll hear:

Try it this week: Sit in silence, take a tech-free walk, doodle, journal, or simply breathe—and then ask, “What did my body say when I got quiet?”
