7 Types of Rest

In this episode of the RAFT Podcast, we explore the Seven Domains of Rest and what they can teach us about caring for ourselves as advocates. From physical and mental rest to sensory, creative, emotional, and social rest, we talk about the types of rest we gravitate toward, what we learned from taking the rest quiz, and how we can weave small moments of rest into the workday.

We also explore what it looks like to create organizations that support rest...not just as an individual responsibility, but as part of a healthier advocacy culture.
