Summary

We’ve got a new president. A new, historic vice president. And so much work to be done! But in order to truly change the world, says Tricia Hersey, founder of the Nap Ministry, we’re going to have to stop running ourselves ragged. Rest isn’t just a wellness fad, she tells host Brittany Packnett Cunningham—it’s a deep racial justice issue and the only path to freedom. Plus, Brittany talks inauguration highlights, remembers Maya Angelou, and brings you the latest Untrending News.
