As she takes a short break to reconnect with family, nature, and herself, she offers thoughtful reminders about the creative, healing power of play, presence, and pausing. Whether you’re already taking time off or planning your next moment of rest, recreation or vacation, this episode invites you to reframe “rest” as a necessary rhythm of wellbeing. Featuring a quote from poet David Whyte and wisdom from Wendy’s 6-year-old daughter, this heartfelt message is a gentle nudge to explore, recharge, and remember what truly matters.
