What if even in a storm you became a Rested Woman?

Here’s the rested truth…

You deserve rest.

This is what you’d probably say to a tired family member, close friend, and even an exhausted stranger you chatted with at a coffee shop. But give yourself permission to rest? That’s rare.

Create a rested life that’s soft and yummy when the world is collapsing? That feels selfish. And even if it wasn’t you have no idea what a rested life means. No role models in your family, for sure.

Every woman in your family - and most likely every woman you know - is exhausted.

Exactly.

That’s why you can be a rest story healer. (Shoutout to Dr. Ruby Gibson for the ‘story healer’ inspiration).

With help, you can step into a more rested story. You can become a Rested Woman.

Let us help you.

Feeling calm & ease is built through practice, not more knowledge.

Rest and relaxation are not learned by endlessly reading or scrolling wellness tips. They are remembered through embodied practice.

Inside Rested Woman we support you to work with your wisdom mind through deep rest, slowing down, stillness, contemplation, and holding paradox. In these zero stress point states of consciousness we remember our wise, wild & free self…we become more compassionate towards others and ourself…and we stop abandoning our intuition, yearnings, and heart desires.

When we rest consistently, there’s the potential to change our relationship to time - to stop rushing every minute. We begin to trust our wisdom and lead with our heart.

The cycle of burnout loses it’s fuel when we rest - stillness, deep rest, and quiet calms the fire.

If there was ever a time to rest, it is now.

2026 - the Year of the Fire Horse - carries powerful energy. Fire brings movement, truth, awakening, and change. It can stir courage, creativity, and bold leadership. But without grounding, that same fire can also leave us feeling scattered, reactive, and exhausted.

Right now many of us feel as if we are navigating too much - war, grief, uncertainty, reckoning with hard truths, and collective awakening.

In times like these, rest is not a luxury. It is stabilizing.

What if you could be the calm in the storm?

What if you could stay rooted when the world feels turbulent?

What if this fiery year didn’t push you toward more urgency and burnout…but instead invited you to gallop toward softness, clarity, and calm?

What if this was the year you said:

Enough to exhaustion.
Enough to people-pleasing.
Enough to waiting for the “right moment” to write that book, create that art, and live the life calling you.

The truth is, there is never a right moment.

But what if you could move toward what matters to you softly?

What if you took the reins this year and gave yourself the gift of relaxation, stillness, deep rest, and working softer?

Option 2: Working Soft

Working Soft is a rest and women's leadership level of support inside the Rested Woman membership. It's an invitation for women to gather an additional two times a month in dedication to both your "doing" in the world and "being."

Working Soft is for you if you want to physically rest your body, feel more grounded, crave stillness...AND you want to reimagine your relationship with time and over-doing. You long for a softer pace and a circle where you can devote yourself to something you love - tending a project, an idea, or a creative thread that wants your attention now. No more waiting for perfect conditions. You want to create and move your life forward without burning out, with soft as a foundation.

Working Soft includes:

2 LIVE MONTHLY WORKING SOFT CIRCLES

Twice each month we gather to work softly together - devoting unhurried time to something you love. This might be writing, creating a program in your business, knitting, drawing, dreaming, or tending to any project close to your heart. Our circles are spacious and gently guided, weaving in reflections from the Year of the Fire Horse and exploring one Gene Key each month—a wisdom system developed by Richard Rudd that blends Human Design, astrology, and the iChing to help you tune into more rested, aligned frequencies within your life. Circles meet on the 1st and 2nd Wednesdays 10-12pm MT.

PARTNER WITH A “SOFT SISTER”

If you want to explore your Working Soft journey one on one with another woman. Totally optional. Women love this!

EVERYTHING IN REST CIRCLE

Live yoga nidra each month on the new moon, hundreds of on-demand rest practices in our Rest Library, free annual live 40-Day Daring to Rest Program.

SPECIAL BONUS

As a bonus for signing up for Working Soft, in late March you will receive access to the 2022 Working Soft program teaching videos. This includes teachings on the Gene Keys, rest, and women's leadership.

* All live gatherings will be recorded and posted to our online portal within 24 hours.

“I loved the combination of self-reflection, self-care, soft productivity, contemplation and community in Working Soft.

The permission to work soft and look inward has increased my personal confidence and my feeling that I am on the right path for me. Also, Karen is a connected leader. She is a good listener and a gentle facilitator. Karen is inspiring a new way of thinking that is so needed in this world.”

Hi, I’m Karen.

If you're new here, I'm a rest coach, trainer of rest leaders, writer, podcast host, and mother of two boys raised on rest—which feels like a small miracle considering I grew up in an unrested household. I’ve been facilitating women’s groups for decades, guiding women back to themselves through deep rest. So it may not surprise you that I wrote a book on deep rest for women: Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation.

You are most likely here because you don’t want to live in a cycle of fatigue forever. You know too well the obstacles to becoming rested - no time, constant stress, a world that feels like it’s always on the brink - but something in you wonders if stillness and deep rest might help you feel more anchored, calm, and grounded in these times.

I’ll be honest: I have had so many burnouts I lost count. I’ve experienced severe panic attacks where I could not leave my home. I know what it feels like to be worn down and chronically overwhelmed. The only reason I began resting is because my body broke down - it simply could not keep repeating that cycle.

Rested Woman is the community I wished I had when I was exhausted, burned out, and trying to find my way back to myself. It’s what grew out of the moment when rest stopped being just a practice and became a way of living.

I am on this journey with you. Becoming a Rested Woman is lifelong. And yes - becoming rested can be fun. Along with deep stillness and restoration, I always infuse the Rested Woman community with warmth, a sense of rest sisterhood, and joy.

I’m especially excited to rest this year with you - the Year of the Fire Horse. I’m a Fire Horse baby myself, born in 1966, during the previous Year of the Fire Horse sixty years ago. I know that galloping energy well. And over the course of my life, I’ve learned just how essential it is to welcome slow, soft energy alongside it.

I hope if you feel called you’ll join us inside Rested Woman.
