Just beautiful, Ashley -- from your words to your message to the book cover to the photo of you and your Grandmother. Congrats on writing another vital book that is so true to you. <3
Thank you so much Laura Lee! Could not have created this without you by my side for the entire process ;) You are definitely a book midwife! Excited to see how this book makes its way and what is to come!
Congratulations on completing a work that is so desperately needed in the culture right now! Made me think of Ariana Huffington for some reason - probably because she is so passionate about sleep. Sleep is amazing but many of us cannot sleep well for various reasons from motherhood (hands up!) to chronic pain (hubbie at the moment), menopause or other hormonal changes, teenage overstimulation? But there are many ways to rest. Everyone needs to reminder, but for some reason it always seems to be women who need the (self) permission. We are cyclical creatures and sometimes need more rest. Research says that we always need more sleep than men! Anyway as you can see this is a topic I feel passionate about. I adored your first book and return to it often; I know this will be the same. Pre-ordering a copy for me and one for my sister in law too who is about to be on bed rest after surgery!
Thank you Kari! I always love reading your take and insights, they always land as a YES in my body. Yes, Ariana Huffington is such a big voice in this space and has been sharing about burnout and sleep for a while. And I agree, that we are cyclical creatures and have seasons where more rest is needed. I love how passionate you are about this and am deeply grateful for the pre-orders. It really makes a huge difference. Grateful for you! xo Ashley
How I need this wisdom and in solid written form that I can dog ear refer back to every time I get pulled back into our oppressive culture of proving worth through productivity. Ordering copies for friends as well. Cheering you on to the bestseller list. Lots of love and thanks for bringing this book into the world. 🙏❤️🪶
Thank you so much Molly! I am truly touched by your words and generosity. I wrote this book for myself too, so I can have all of the teachings in one place to return to as needed. Thank you for being part of the revolution and for supporting the pre-order, it really means so much to me!! With big love, Ashley
Rest is my new reality. When I finally gave myself permission to rest in the last two years, my life has taken on a new rhythm and a new reality. One that I never thought possible and quite frankly, one that I never thought I would want. Rest offers us the ability to go where we were afraid of going, but getting to the other side is worth the pain and effort of 'resting' for those of us that thought we never could. Best of luck with your book (and getting over the strep throat!) I look forward to reading it.
Thank you sister!! Love what you wrote that Rest is a Holy Practice. Full body chills. This book has been such a long time coming and I completely agree, it's a pathway to depth and expansion. Grateful for you!!
Congratulations Ashley 🎊

Permission to Rest is a wonderful phrase. Congratulations on reaching the phase where hopefully YOU can rest after completion!
