OOL_0019 On Rest And Resetting With Carol Kohl

Carol Kohl joins Annie and Candis this week to talk about how stepping away from schoolish, productivity-based mindsets, we can learn how to balance out our natural need for rest. As adults going through a deschooling process, we can have a hard time remembering to allow for those slower moments, days, periods of our lives. Together they explore how to make more space for noticing when rest is needed.

Thanks for listening!
