In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re exploring the practice of rest — not as laziness or avoidance, but as a powerful posture of trust.

"Bringing doubt to your doubt" is a method I use for challenging negative thoughts.

This episode will teach you a simple process to do this & help you overcome those doubtful thoughts and anchor into greater self belief and confidence.

Living & Working Lighter Mini Series: Procrastination, People Pleasing & Busyness
The truth is, we can’t live and work in a lighter way when our body is under sustained stress.
But stress can be sneaky! It can often show up in ways that we don’t necessarily attribute to stress.

Once we understand this, we can learn to meet that need in a more s...
