324. The Missing Step in Healing & Manifestation: Learning to Rest w/Judi Pasos

324. The Missing Step in Healing & Manifestation: Learning to Rest w/Judi Pasos

Author: Nikki Novo July 21, 2026 Duration: 1:10:12

If you’ve done the therapy, read the books, reprogrammed your subconscious… why do you still feel exhausted?

In this episode, I sit down with therapist and nervous system expert Judi Pasos to explore the missing piece that so many high-achieving women overlook: rest.

We talk about why healing often leaves us in an uncomfortable “in-between” where our old survival strategies no longer work, but our next chapter hasn’t fully revealed itself yet. Instead of rushing to figure it all out, Judi shares why this space is actually where transformation happens.

Together we explore:

  • Why so many ambitious women are secretly overfunctioning
  • How rest is different from sleep
  • The connection between nervous system regulation, manifestation, and receiving
  • Why overfunctioning creates the illusion of safety—but keeps us exhausted
  • How Yoga Nidra and NSDR help rewire the brain through deep rest
  • The link between authenticity, abundance, and feeling truly safe
  • How overfunctioning impacts our relationships, marriages, and ability to receive support

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly holding everything together, struggling to relax, or wondering why healing has left you feeling directionless instead of clear, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is finally let yourself rest.
