The Power of Recovery Between Battles

Rest, Recover & Reflect (Part 2)

Last week, we explored the essential role of rest in healing and recovery in "Rest, Recover, & Reflect Part 1: You Deserve to Rest.” I hope you are finding ways to rest every day, even in small, meaningful ways.

Many Wise Women are facing a need for healing right now—whether physically, emotionally, relationally, or politically. Yet, it can be incredibly hard to give yourself permission to rest and recover, especially when the next challenge feels just around the corner.

Whether you're bracing for the next health issue, parenting hurdle, relationship struggle, or political battle, it’s easy to feel like rest is a luxury you can’t afford. But here’s the truth: taking time to recover in between challenges is not only important—it’s essential. Recovery is what replenishes your energy, so you can show up fully for whatever comes next.

Winter is an ideal time for recovery. As life slows down, our bodies naturally crave more rest. This season offers the perfect opportunity to embrace stillness in order to process what needs to be healed. Just like the earth goes dormant in the colder months, we can use this time to rest, reflect, and recharge, ensuring we have the strength to face the next season of life with renewed energy.

So, give yourself permission to pause and recover. Embrace the fallowness, knowing that, like the earth, you too will spring forth with new vitality when the time is right.
