Episode Summary

In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we kick off a brand-new series inside Season 7's desire theme: the seven types of rest.

I'll walk you through why the rest you've been taking might not be working — not because you're doing it wrong, but because no one ever taught you that rest is allowed to include desire.

If you've ever rested all weekend and still felt empty, or called yourself lazy when your body was really just asking for something you wouldn't let yourself have, this one is for you.

Over the next seven episodes, we're taking each type of rest one at a time — starting today with the reframe underneath all of them.

What You'll Walk Away With

→ Why "productive rest vs. lazy rest" is the wrong question — and what to ask instead

→ The seven types of rest framework (physical, creative, sensory, social, spiritual, and more) and why physical rest alone was never going to be enough

→ Three reflection questions to figure out what kind of rest you've actually been avoiding
