Holding space for bleeding hearts to rest
for recovery, release, and reclamation.
You’re tired for one reason:
You give a damn.
In fact you’ve adopted all the f*cks others have forfeit. That’s what makes you a bleeding heart —you care deeply. You care about liberation, justice, equity, and the dismantling of oppressive systems. You care about the planet. You care about economic justice. You care for everyone in your community, neighborhood, work, family, and friendships — everyone except yourself.
You’ve been running at lightening speed for so long you don’t know what it looks like to slow down. But you know you need to. There’s no use in denying it anymore.
IT’S TIME TO EMBRACE THE PAUSE.
This is where we meet you. We don’t ask you to bypass your feelings. We don’t pretend you don’t have to navigate the specters of guilt and shame. We don’t expect you to be the polished version of yourself either. We hold space for you to be held, to be imperfect, to learn, to practice, and to truly rest.
The change you want to make in the world starts within, bleeding heart. Are you ready?
The RestLab Series
The RestLab is the umbrella we house our offers under. Each one builds upon the other but you don’t have to do them in order. Each offer provides the space to learn and the safety to exhale. New to rest and want to see what all the hype is about? Try our RestLab 101 class. Ready for a more in-depth approach? Try out our group coaching program, RestLab Hibernator.
Or if you’ve got time and capacity, try our RestLab Intensive for customized rest strategy. Ditch the burnout, build sustainable advocacy, challenge the way you worked that led to burnout, and create a life with your joy at the center of it.

Hey bleeding heart, I’m Jordan.
Being silent about my needs almost killed me. I grew up learning how to please others, not advocate for myself. Sound familiar?
I had been conditioned to believe that the safest place for me was where no one could see nor hear me.
But as Audre Lorde said, “Your silence will not protect you.”
In 2019 I found my voice again.
This time it was all mine. I used my voice to learn how to ask for help, say what I need, navigate burnout, and advocate for myself. I created rest, joy, and care from my voice. Let me help you find yours.

They Made the Shift. So Can You.
“As a first-generation woman of color, the concept of rest is a luxury; something you earned and enjoyed on a bi-annual vacation and looked forward to during your retirement. Burnout and overwhelm was normalized; you pay your dues, right? Yet over time, you come to realize that it's not a sustainable way of living. Enter Jordan and her Get Rested Clinic [currently the RestLab Hibernator], a transformative experience that raises our consciousness! This course came into my life while I was juggling the busy season in my small business along with complex familial responsibilities that left me feeling drained.
Jordan's gentle guidance and insight throughout the Get Rested course, especially during our weekly coaching calls, has helped me gain clarity on the external and self-imposed challenges to prioritizing REST in my life. All while defining what that practice looks like and shifting my mindset in order to create and maintain healthy boundaries. This work feels significant, like a revolutionary step towards ancestral healing! She leads this work with empathetic warmth and humor for us to shatter the oppressive systems we've grown accustomed to and prioritize our well being. Thank you, Jordan! Rest has never been at the forefront of my mind as it is now.”
