A note from Michell about the change in this month’s meeting:
Well… sometimes things happen exactly when they’re supposed to.
Our scheduled speaker had to cancel at the last minute, and while that normally sends me scrambling to figure out Plan B, I think this one may have been perfectly timed.
Last Friday, I was listening to a podcast while driving, and honestly, it hit me right in the gut.
The episode was about the seven types of rest and why so many of us are exhausted even when we’re getting enough sleep. As I listened, I found myself thinking, “Ouch. I needed to hear this.”
As women, entrepreneurs, leaders, moms, wives, volunteers, caregivers, and all the other hats we wear, we’re really good at pushing through. We’re really good at showing up. We’re really good at taking care of everyone else. We’re not always so great at taking care of ourselves.
The more I listened, the more I realized this wasn’t something I wanted to keep to myself. If it resonated that strongly with me, I have a feeling there are others in our WEW community who need to hear it too.
So this month we’re doing something a little different. We’ll listen to portions of the podcast together and then have an open discussion about what stood out, what challenged us, and which type of rest we may be missing in our own lives.
I hope you’ll join us. Something tells me this conversation is one we all need right now.
