About this episode

Dori Brown discusses the importance of taking breaks for self-care and healing, inspired by her recent illness.

This week, I got sick and something surprising happened. I slowed down more than I ever would have chosen on my own. It made me ask: what if we didn’t wait for illness or burnout to take a break? What if the rest itself was the medicine? In this episode, I share what I learned, how another woman’s forced reset led to real healing and why your body might be asking for a break you haven’t let yourself take. Would you like to feel more steady and confident in your parenting? This is what I help women do. If this episode resonated and you’d like to go deeper, I lead a private community where these conversations continue. It’s a steady, intentional container focused on self-awareness, compassion, and nervous system safety. I’m live twice a month with teachings, present for questions and reflection, and holding a consistent rhythm so learning can happen in relationship and with support.
