So many of us have internalized the idea that rest must be earned — that it’s something we only deserve once everything is done. In this episode, we gently explore why this belief runs so deep, especially for sensitive mothers, and how we might begin to unlearn it. Karen shares practical reflections and tender truths about reclaiming rest as a birthright — not a prize at the end of burnout. If you’re longing to rest without guilt, this one’s for you.✨ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this with someone who might need a reminder: You’re not alone, and your needs matter.🌿 The High Sensory Mothers Podcast – new episodes every Tuesday.
