Episode notes

We're easier to manipulate when you're like exhausted and don't have time to think, Trisha says. "I see prayer to be a veil buster," she adds. She believes we can freedom dream and we can imagine ourselves free. The book is written from the point of view of being disillusioned but bringing us back to hope.

1. The Nap Ministry’s Nap Bishop shares small, concrete ways to bring rest into our own lives – especially when rest seems impossible.

2. Why so many of us feel like machines instead of humans – and the power of imagination as a spiritual practice to reconnect with our humanity and divinity.

3. Why grind culture – a collaboration of capitalism and white supremacy – wants to keep us exhausted, and how we can resist a culture of overwhelming busy-ness.

4. Why everything changes when we embrace ease as our birthright.

5. Creative ways to reimagine rest within our hectic daily lives.
