A Love Letter to Rest

Here’s one woman’s story about the magic of discovering rest.

“This is a love letter to everything I discovered on my journey with rest.

One year ago today, I arrived a rest retreat with Hester. I thought I was simply going away for the weekend, but little did I know that those few days would spark a love and passion that would ripple into every part of my life.

Rest has helped me navigate grief, burnout, boundaries, decision-making, anxiety, fear

Most of all, it has guided me back to self-love.

The lessons learned have woven their way into my daily rhythms:

practicing at home

honoring moon and menstrual cycles

lighting candles

pulling oracle cards

sharing this practice with friends and family.

This journey has been nothing short of life-changing.

To all the women I’ve met along this path: you hold a piece of my heart. Your presence, stories, and support have left a lasting imprint on mine. I am grateful to have met you and been in your light.

And to my incredible rest coach, Hester Brooks - this journey would not have been what it is without you.

Thank you for holding space, being a safe landing place, and for teaching me how to come home to myself.”


I love receiving these messages. In fact, it’s why I am still in practice.

Who would you be after prioritizing rest in your life for 1 year?

Who will you be if you don’t?

A rested life doesn’t just happen, we have to plan for it.

It all starts with taking 1 hour for you:

We have to be in the frequency of rest to feel it in our bodies, to know that there is another way.

Take the first step towards a rested life.
