Dear What’s Next is an audio letter series from She Shift created for women in midlife navigating their becoming season.

In this first letter, Pamela Stone reflects on the quiet awareness many women experience when life still looks good… but something inside feels different. This episode speaks to the restlessness, reflection, and inner repositioning that often comes before a new chapter begins.

This letter is for the woman who knows something is shifting — even if she can’t fully name it yet.

Pamela Stone is joined by Tamika Beasley, mastermind behind Beasley's Creations; Leslie Wright, the success strategist championing women's leadership; Celicia, family empowerment coach and founder of beabetterparent.com; and Tammy Pope, author, coach, and advocate for unleashing your inner child.

Welcome back to She Shift! In today’s episode, "Rest is Not a Reward," host Pamela Stone kicks off the new year by inviting us to rethink everything we know about rest, especially as women in midlife. Joined by special guest Tecca Thompson—the founder of The Rested Black Woman and a powerful advocate for wellness and healing—this conversation dives deep into why rest is essential, not just a luxury after hard work. Tecca Thompson shares her personal journey from decades in juvenile corrections to building a business centered on sacred healing spaces, and how the act of reclaiming rest became her revolution.

Together, Pamela Stone and Tecca Thompson break open the stigma around slowing down, the pressures of Black excellence, tackling burnout, and the freedom that comes with giving ourselves permission to pause. Whether you’re feeling that “shift” in your life but struggling to name it, or simply need inspiration to embrace rest and transformation, this episode is packed with honest wisdom, practical tips, and real-talk encouragement for every woman ready to rediscover what’s next. So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and get ready to be inspired—because your rest, and your shift, are right around the corner.
