In a world that glorifies motion, productivity, and constant proving, rest often feels like a luxury — or even a threat.

But what if rest is actually a form of rebellion? What if slowing down is how we restore trust with our bodies, reconnect with our purpose, and realign with the natural rhythms of the earth?

In Episode 2 of How to Build a Rose-Colored Planet, Dana explores:

✨ Rest as Rebellion — remembering who we are beneath urgency

✨ Rest as Trust — unclenching, releasing, and allowing the body to guide

✨ Rest as Personal Reckoning — examining our own beliefs about slowing down

✨ Rest as Collective Restoration — how our stillness ripples outward into community and planet

✨ Rest as Openness — the space where creativity, connection, and renewal return

Through storytelling from her time in the Army, reflections on modern burnout culture, and gentle guidance, Dana offers a spacious conversation about the kind of rest that softens, widens, and makes room for life again.

The episode closes with a powerful question to spark intentional conversations:

“If you allowed yourself to fully rest, what part of your life would open — and how could that opening offer something meaningful to your community, your relationships, or the planet?”

This is an episode to listen to slowly.

To sit with.

To breathe into.

To share with someone who might need the reminder that rest is not retreat — it’s a return.
