Grounding Reproductive Justice in Faith: Rest, Mutual Aid, and Reproductive Freedom with Elaina Ramsey - Just Rest: Burnout Tips for Everyday Radicals What does faith have to do with reproductive justice — and what does either have to do with rest? Everything, it turns out. Nicole sits down with Elaina Ramsey, Executive Director of FaithChoice Ohio, an organization that elevates the moral power ...

The permission you give so freely to others — to rest, to grieve, to just be human — is also an invitation you can extend to yourself.

That's it. That's the whole thing.

Small confession from behind the scenes of my podcast.

Between my computer dying and learning how much work podcast production actually takes, I fell behind on my episode schedule.

And it forced me to make a choice.

It’s All about Connection — and Other Truths from Contact How a 1997 sci-fi movie fueled my passion for my new podcast and made me feel seen

Rewatched Contact (1997) for an episode of the @media-lit.bsky.social Pod w/ @bertrandallain.bsky.social & @kris-ingersoll.bsky.social — and realized it’s the perfect metaphor for my pod.

Connection. Curiosity. Rest. 🚀 open.substack.com/pub/defythet...

I Teared Up at 3:58 | Meet My Podcast Launch Partner Alesia Galati | Just Rest Podcast In this short (under 6 minutes!) conversation, I introduce you to Alesia Galati, the podcast strategist and founder of Galati Media, who is helping me professionally launch my new show: Just Rest: Burnout Tips for Everyday Radicals. At the 3:58 mark, Alesia says something that moved me to tears — and reminded me exactly why this podcast matters. I hope you’ll watch all the way through and feel as inspired as I did. 💡 When you give to support the launch, you’re not just backing my podcast — you’re investing in two women-owned businesses (mine and Alesia’s), and in a movement that believes rest is resistance in a world obsessed with grind culture. 👉 Give here: https://square.link/u/KGslefhX 🪧 And yes — supporters get their name read on the podcast and added to our Just Rest Wall of Fame. You’ll be part of the movement from the very beginning. About Nicole (Host) I’m Nicole Havelka, burnout coach, pastor, yoga teacher, and founder of the Defy the Trend community. I help people recover from burnout and reclaim radical rest as resistance to grind culture. Through Just Rest, I share practical tips and soulful conversations to help everyday radicals live more human, rested lives. About Alesia (Guest) Alesia Galati is the founder of Galati Media, a Black-owned, Afro-Latina-led podcast management agency based in North Carolina. She’s launched more than 50 shows and produced over 3,000 episodes, helping creators craft messages that make a difference. Alesia is also a wife, mom of two boys, and the sole financial provider for her family — and she’s deeply passionate about amplifying voices that matter.

I teared up at 3:58. 🥹

In my convo w/ Alesia Galati about launching Just Rest, she said something that hit me so deeply it stopped me cold.

Reading a book with my favorite pastry = good rest.

Yesterday I did something radical during a crowdfunding campaign: I turned off my screens. ✨

Because here’s the truth: if I’m out here inviting you to Just Rest, I have to live it too.

Together we can make rest a movement.
