85: "On The Other Side Of Rest Is Flow"- quote by Ixchel Lunar

"On The Other Side Of Rest Is Flow" which is a quote and teaching I've learned from one of my friends and mentors Ixchel Lunar. 

I'm very excited to be back and releasing new episodes of the OutSpoken Girlfriend podcast. I thought that I was going to take a shorter vacation and be back on the mic in June...but here we are over halfway through July and this was the time I needed.  

Today is a behind the scenes episode. Slowing down created space for me to really pay attention to what was going on within me and to just rest. Here's the thing, although I was taking time off for rest, the time away was not all rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns. There were some doubts and insecurities and questions that came up. But with time comes perspective so I'm in a position to share more on this. 

Listen in to hear me talk about self-doubt, visibility, who gets to rest (and who does not), and some of the mind-f*ckery that is so critical to deconstruct in our modern society.  I had real worries I’d have no more podcast listeners since I was not putting out new content the last few months.  This worry led me to get curious about just how deep within all of us is the culture of relentless productivity and the edict to “get sh*t done” at any cost.

It’s time to vanquish the hold of relentless productivity- and live in a state of flow.
