  • The Double Edged Sword of Rest
    Sep 10 2025

    To those who noticed - apologies for not uploading last week :)

    Today, I'm getting into rest! And I'm gonna get plenty personal too. Over my 15 years of experience with a chronic headache, I have plenty of thoughts on what shapes our ideas on rest. How it different for the healthy versus chronically pained, how society views rest, how the mind rests versus body rest, and more... Please let me know what you think of this episode!
