1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In this episode, Steph shares an open letter written from a place of deep rest — and reflects on why rest is not a luxury, reward, or indulgence, but a biological necessity and a birthright. Speaking gently about urgency culture, productivity, capitalism, colonised time, and nervous system safety, this episode explores rest as an act of sovereignty, self-trust, and quiet resistance. Steph reflects on why rest can feel unsafe, how fear-based productivity keeps us disconnected from our bodies, and why listening inward can be both challenging and healing. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, this episode invites reflection: on fluctuating capacity, micro-moments of slowing down, community care, and how we might reclaim our rhythms in a world that constantly pulls our attention outward. This is not a call to do rest “right,” but an invitation to soften, notice, and honour the body, one small moment at a time. &amp;nbsp; Connect with Steph: www.sgroccupationaltherapy.com Email:&amp;nbsp;hello@sgroccupationaltherapy.com&amp;nbsp; Come and join us on the socials: Instagram:&amp;nbsp;www.instagram.com/sgroccupationaltherapy/&amp;nbsp; Facebook:&amp;nbsp;www.facebook.com/SGROccupationalTherapy Facebook group- The Neurodiversity Empowerment Movement&amp;nbsp; https://www.facebook.com/groups/1258437025035170/ Alphabet Soup!
