In this episode of Rest for the Revolution, I sit down with Karla Gomez, a powerhouse quad left emotional generator, trauma-informed therapist, and my “business twin flame,” to talk about rest, healing, and redefining success. Karla’s life journey spans from high-pressure chef kitchens and single motherhood at 21 to graduate studies in trauma counseling and groundbreaking work in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Together, we explore:

• How chronic urgency, overwork, and ignoring rest almost led to a medical crisis

• The physiological toll of grief, trauma, and professional burnout

• How psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapy opened the door to deep healing and nervous system regulation

• The projector-generator dynamic in Human Design and how it transformed our lives and businesses

• Practical strategies for building rest, emotional processing, and energy management into a high-performance life

If you’ve ever wondered how to escape the cultural trap of over-functioning, heal from burnout, or reclaim your energy with intention, Karla’s story is a masterclass in revolutionary rest and sustainable success.

Tune in to hear a heartfelt conversation about the pursuit of purpose, the cost of burnout, and the radical act of resting well.

Photographer, musician, and 1/3 sacral generator Dan Bradner joins Rest for the Revolution to explore what true rest really means—beyond sleep. Dan shares his powerful journey through self-harm, burnout, and grief into a life of intentional rest, daily meditation, gratitude practices, and music. We dive into:

• How rest can transform your mental health and creativity

• The link between self-harm, intrusive thoughts, and the search for peace

• Building daily practices for emotional and mental resilience

• Music, photography, and volunteering as paths to healing

• Why short naps, meditation, and gratitude are radical acts of self-care

If you’ve ever struggled with restless thoughts, burnout, or the pressure to keep going in a chaotic world, this episode will leave you with hope, tools, and a reminder that rest is revolutionary.

This episode invites us to rethink rest—not just as downtime, but as an active, essential practice for healing and revolution. Tune in for honest stories, hard-earned wisdom, and practical insights on how rest can transform your life.

Welcome to Rest for the Revolution.

In this first episode, I share why I started this podcast—as a personal project to explore rest in a world that constantly demands more. Rest isn’t optional; it’s a basic human right. Through conversations with amazing people, I’ve uncovered how rest is deeply tied to our wellbeing, privilege, and the fight for justice. This is the beginning of a journey to rethink how we value rest—and why it’s vital for revolution.
