In today’s world, life feels busy, overwhelming and stressful more often than not. Burnout is a feeling almost everyone has struggled. In a world where we are constantly hustling for approval, it seems impossible to find time to rest. Rest is easily written off as sleeping at night, when in reality, true rest happens by incorporating peacefulness throughout our day.This week, Stacey Robbins, author of You’re Not Crazy and You’re Not Alone takes a seat at the table to chat about all-things acceptance, vulnerability, and how to achieve restorative rest.Stacey and I dive deep into things not for the faint-hearted like our struggles, traumas and pain points. Stacey tells us how she found peace and how uses her story to help others.Stacey’s wisdom is what we need and it is exemplified in the guidelines she taught her children. As an example, one of these guidelines is about living in the “and” which means two things can be true at the same time like we are healing and we are perfectly imperfect. (31:46) It is this wisdom that helps us to know what Stacey knows that “when we try to mitigate pain, we often mitigate the healing process.” (22:11)Here’s what we connect on: Stacey shares an incredible story about her family’s cross-country move in order to escape the hustle and bustle of living in Southern California. (3:52) How 15 minutes of mindful rest and stillness daily can change your life (7:05) The balance between sharing our stories authentically while being discerning (14:12) How life’s most horrible traumas and rage can push us to become mentally, emotionally and physically stronger (25:28) How to find your footing and work towards healing when life feels just as messy as we are (30:11)To further connect: Find all of Stacey’s books and resources HERE.
