Welcome to the Black Obrano podcast, Kelly here, and we're going to talk about how to opt out of breastlessness and into deep rest.

This is a continuation of a conversation that I had earlier this week in the last episode,

to be exact, about how stillness feels so uncomfortable to so many of us.

And it's because we're restless.

And so I want to spend a little bit of time exploring the different types of rest

little bit about other ways to get rest and to encourage you to think about the seven types of rest

that we actually need and where you may be lacking in some of those areas. And spoiler alert,

it may be more than one, at least for me it is.

And I'll surely share with you where I am breast deficient, where I'm falling down on the

job with getting good rest. So the first one is the most obvious one that people go to,

which is physical rest. That is your sleep. That is naps.

It's body care. It's stretching. It's taking care of your physical body.
