In this episode of Pause/Play, we’re diving deep into the world of sensory rest and overload with our special guest, Jessica Nichols—a Kansas City-based therapist with a spiritual approach to self-care and boundaries. Jessica, a virtual sensation and a dear friend of our host Amy, shares her expert insights on balancing sensory input in a chaotic, tech-filled world.

Join us as we explore how pastors and healers manage the overwhelming demands of today’s digital age. From zoning out to managing noise sensitivity, Jessica reveals her favorite techniques for sensory survival and introduces us to her radical REST and PAUSE acronyms—designed to help you prune and unplug for real rest.

We’ll reminisce about the simpler pre-tech era, tackle stories of sensory overload from our listener pastors, and give you permission to restructure your life to reduce the chaos. Plus, we’ve got some spooky season surprises in store as we wrap things up!

Tune in for soothing anecdotes, practical tips, and a nostalgic journey through the intersections of somatics, sensory rest, and spiritual life.

This description highlights the episode’s themes and offers listeners a clear idea of what to expect!
