#394: Permission to Rest: You Can’t Heal Past Trauma Until You’re Willing to Do This 1 Thing

What if the one thing you’ve been avoiding, is the very thing you need most? This episode is a heartfelt reminder that sometimes the bravest thing you can do after trauma isn’t pushing through—it’s stopping long enough to heal.

If you’ve experienced loss, heartbreak, or any kind of personal crisis, you’ve probably felt the urge to just keep going. Society tells us to power through. But that constant motion can keep you stuck. This episode speaks to the part of you that’s exhausted—not from doing too little, but from carrying too much.

Why Must You Listen?

• You’ll finally understand that exhaustion isn’t a weakness—it’s a signal that you need something deeper than sleep.
• You’ll learn how a soul-nurturing pause is not only helpful after trauma but essential to your recovery.
• You’ll receive permission to stop running and start healing—without guilt, shame, or apology.

What’s It All About?

Today's 394TH Episode of Grit, Grace, & Inspiration isn’t about productivity. It’s about peace. In this deeply personal solo episode, your host, Kevin Lowe opens up about the power of slowing down after trauma. With emotional transparency and grounded wisdom, he challenges the lie that healing comes through hustle. Whether you’ve lost someone, been through a breakup, survived disappointment, or are simply worn out from life—this conversation is your reminder that rest isn’t lazy. It’s necessary.

Through storytelling and insight, Kevin shares what it means to pause with purpose. This episode isn’t a checklist. It’s an invitation to stop pretending you’re fine and start taking care of what actually hurts. Because real healing begins when you give yourself permission to rest.
