In a world that seeks to erase our history and redefine our worth, standing firm in who you are is an act of self-preservation. This episode is your reminder: we will not be triggered. Let's talk about why we need to get clear and stop allowing the world to redefine us. It's time to get clear about how we are the living embodiment of the history they're desperately trying to erase. We also are the peace that we're looking for. Especially in times when the attacks amplify (e.g. the recent executive order that was signed on 3/27.) . Let's talk about it and how you can navigate it. Standing Bible Verses: Isaiah 43:1: "I have called you by name; you are mine" Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Proverbs 4:23: "Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."Reference Points: National Museum of African American History and Culture: https://nmaahc.si.edu/The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones: https://1619books.com/The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92057.The_Autobiography_of_Malcolm_XRest is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60382737-rest-is-resistanceThe Well Done Life Podcast Information:The Reset Experience Recap Video: https://youtu.be/4ynD3AEuz2I?si=okF38OJIH4vLoVmJPrevious Episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/851650/episodes/16627079-love-is-revolutionary.mp3?download=trueInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pamelaldavis/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewelldonelifepodcastEmail: hello@thewelldonelife.com and thewelldonelife@gmail.com Thank you for listening.

This episode is a review of Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey. Leaders, how are you resting in your transitions? What were you taught about rest? What do you believe about rest? Some say, "I'll rest when I'm dead." Others say, "I'll rest when I finish this or that." Tricia Hersey, founder of the Rest Is Resistance framework, shares other thoughts about rest. Much more than an exhortation to rest, this book faults capitalism and white supremacy--starting on plantations-- as the generator of what we know today as grind culture. Full of reasoning, anecdotes, inspirations and calls to action, Hersey has inspired many to set a rest practice with intention.

1. The Nap Ministry's Nap Bishop shares small, concrete ways to bring rest into our own lives – especially when rest seems impossible.  2. Why so many of us feel like machines instead of humans – and the power of imagination as a spiritual practice to reconnect with our humanity and divinity. 3. Why grind culture – a collaboration of capitalism and white supremacy – wants to keep us exhausted, and how we can resist a culture of overwhelming busy-ness.   4. Why everything changes when we embrace ease as our birthright.  5. Creative ways to reimagine rest within our hectic daily lives.  About Tricia Tricia Hersey is a Chicago native who has called Georgia home for the last 12 years. She has over 20 years of experience as a multidisciplinary artist, writer, theologian and community organizer. She is the founder of The Nap Ministry, an organization that examines rest as a form of resistance and reparations by curating spaces for the community to rest via community rest activations, immersive workshops, performance art installations, and social media. Her research interests include Black liberation theology, womanism, somatics, and cultural trauma. She is the author of the upcoming book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto which will be published in October 2022. You can learn more about her work and the book at thenapministry.com.

In this episode, I get personal and share about the health challenges I've been going through and why I've decided to take a break from podcasting for the next few months. In the process, I share how my taking a break relates to the invitation of the new moon in Scorpio for all of us--a call for transformation, that involves not only rebirth, but first a sort of "death." It is not a real death, but a time of rest. Where are you being called to rest? I also share some powerful quotes on the value of rest from Tricia Hersey's book, Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto.

The 7 Ways to Relax this Summer are also the ways we can learn to bring more rest into our lives. We have seven areas that influence our energy and each needs care as we learn to release, relax, and rest. Our society is infused with stories that pull us away from our humanity, which includes devaluing rest. Part of the process of truly relaxing is recognizing the stories we've internalized that keep us from relaxing. This allows us to see the systems that feed us these stories more clearly. Another part is forgiving ourselves, not because it's our fault, but because beating ourselves up is another way we've been conditioned to dehumanize ourselves.In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I explore 7 ways to relax this summer that support healing beyond the vacation.Some of what I'll cover in this episode include:The pressures of perfectionism & productivityReleasing the lie of lazyEmbracing a growth mindsetLearning and forgiving yourself7 ways to make space to relax REFERENECED IN THIS EPISODE:Rest is Resistance – A Manifesto by Tricia HerseyLaziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price, Ph.D.The Femme Historian InstagramThe Femme Historian Buy Me A CoffeeUNLIMITED EPISODES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:The Value of RestNavigating Obstacles to RestClarifying What You WantCONNECT WITH VALERIE: Facebook Instagram Get email updates!

"There's a privilege in following a dream." ~ Emily Brandt My guest today is indie folk-pop artist Ivy Eld, from Ashville North Carolina. Ivy's music dances in the land of paradox. Her voice is simultaneously angelic and rawly human. Ivy longs for her music to be an oasis of healing and beauty–a call to deeper respect and compassion for ourselves and for humanity. She considers her music to be another facet of how she shows up in the world in authentic and passionate service–as a singer-songwriter, a therapist, a mom, a partner, an advocate, a friend, a human. She hopes her thoughtful, earthy, poetic songs will inspire others to look inside–light, shadows, and all–and come home to their deeply worthy selves. Talking with Ivy is as enlightening as it is grounding. Her support of Indigenous artists and the authentic way in which she walks the both/and path are just the tip of the many reasons why Ivy is an artist and woman to support and follow...

Where have the Queens of Black Gaze been? We have been resting and resisting capitalism and non-melanated domination.

We share our hearts about the ways in which we are resting and renewing our spirits daily, while resisting grind culture.

As Hersey states, rest is our birthright. For more resources on resting, check out the Nap Ministry. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/black-gaze/support

Skye and Amanda are back with a new season, ready to discuss new books! This week the two talked about one of the many things they did during the break - REST. After reading Rest is Resistance by the Nap Bishop herself, Tricia Hersey, the ladies examine how our guilt around rest, or inability to do so, is rooted in capitalism and racism. They talk about their experiences with rest and break down how Hersey believes we can find moments to unplug, dream up the life we want, connect with our bodies and minds, and lean into rest as our birthright. Books mentioned in this week's episode: Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey Long Story Short Hotline: (646) 543-6232Follow us online:Instagram: @LongStoryShortPod Twitter: @LSSpodcastFacebook: @LongStoryShortPodEmail: info.longstoryshortpod@gmail.com*Purchasing books through Bookshop.org earns Long Story Short a small commission.

Tricia Hersey thinks grind culture is an assault on your basic humanity. Hersey, also known as The Nap Bishop, is the author of the book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto. She says resting is a deeply spiritual act. You might find Oorbee Roy wearing a sari when she heads over to her local skate park in Toronto. The 48-year-old mother of two shares how she picked up skateboarding — and why she's not putting her board down any time soon.

According to Ruha Benjamin, we're living inside someone else's imagination. An imagination that  limits our ability to build a more just, liberated world. So, how do we take back our agency and begin to seed something different? Baratunde talks with Princeton professor and founding director of the Just Data Lab, Ruha Benjamin to find out.   SHOW ACTIONS Internally Reflect - Bear witness and create a ripple This one is inspired from Ruha's book Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want which says: “…bear witness to the weight of individual and communal protective acts and consider how all of us can be involved in sheltering one another from the rain and sun by cultivating relationships, skills, accountability, and healing.” Think about when you witnessed someone near you perform an act of justice or kindness or protection for another.

Pastor Amanda has a book and an author she wants everyone to know about...

Guided by her new book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto and fervent calls for real, deep rest, this week returning guest Tricia Hersey joins Ayana to unwind the complicated ties of exhaustion and exploitation. Tricia's words serve as incantations against the brainwashing of grind culture as she and Ayana investigate the systems that benefit from keeping us operating. Drawing deep inspiration from her ancestors, histories of marronage, and long standing traditions of Black resistance, Tricia leans into the prophetic dreams that have long allowed for life outside of systems of exploitation. As Tricia reveals, these are times of spiritual crisis. We are asked how might we pray ourselves free? How might we dream ourselves free? Rest is a portal to new worlds, both inside and outside of the self. Tricia Hersey is a Chicago native with over 20 years of experience as a multidisciplinary artist, writer, theologian and community organizer. She is the founder of The Nap Ministry, an organization that examines rest as a form of resistance and reparations by curating spaces for the community to rest via community rest activations, immersive workshops, performance art installations, and social media. Her research interests include Black liberation theology, womanism, somatics, and cultural trauma. She is the author of the book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto which was published in October 2022.

He has been a missionary, a volunteer, and a professional dancer.  He is feeling the urge to change careers yet again and wonders if this is the right move or if he should stay where he is (25:20). They then talk about the movies Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen a Journey, A Song; The Greatest Beer Run Ever; and the Netflix series The Empress (36:17).

When was the last time you spent a moment savoring silence? Tricia Hersey, aka The Nap Bishop, guides us through an appreciation of silence and its restorative powers. Scientists have found that spending just two minutes in silence can lower your blood pressure and heart rate, even when compared to listening to slow, relaxing music. How to Do This Practice: Find a quiet place to rest. Set a two-minute timer and put it aside. Close your eyes and soften your face. Allow yourself to listen to the silence and rest your body. At the end of the two minutes, slowly open your eyes and notice how you feel in your body. Or, continue resting in silence for as long as you need.

On today's episode, we discuss the importance of rest by delving into Tricia Hersey's Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto. ******This episode contents spoilers. ******* Summary In Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop, casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us. Rest Is Resistance is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice, all delivered in Hersey's lyrical voice and informed by her deep experience in theology, activism, and performance art, Rest Is Resistance is a call to action, a battle cry, a field guide, and a manifesto for all of us who are sleep-deprived, searching for justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture.

Why so many of us feel like machines instead of humans – and the power of imagination as a spiritual practice to reconnect with our humanity and divinity. 3. Why grind culture – a collaboration of capitalism and white supremacy – wants to keep us exhausted, and how we can resist a culture of overwhelming busy-ness.   4.
