Rosie Nestingen greets viewers, names her startup and explains her focus on reminding people to grieve, grow, and rest. This short opener sets the tone and purpose for the rest of the talk.
Rosie shares a personal gut check about not resting enough, how that affects her energy and productivity, and how becoming a parent has shifted her sleep patterns. She frames rest as something to prioritize and experiments with scheduling bedtime.
Rosie brings community into focus, noting different definitions and roles it plays, and explains her recent interest in vision boards. She invites viewers to consider what community means for them and hints at seasonal influences like winter blues.
Rosie outlines low-impact community gestures like checking in via text and higher-impact actions such as dropping off flowers, groceries, or offering childcare. The segment emphasizes that even small check-ins can be meaningful when someone is navigating loss or infertility.
Rosie offers a brief tour of meaningful photos in her background, links those stories to themes of rest and community, and describes journaling prompts she uses—what she offers, what she hopes to receive—to be more intentional in 2026. She also suggests applying these community practices to neighbors and everyday relationships.
Rosie wraps up by urging viewers (and herself) to rest more, reminding them they don't have to earn rest and that scheduling it helps. She signs off warmly and invites the audience to take a beat for themselves.
Hey, Cadre. Good morning where I am in this moment. Good to see everybody. My name is Rosie Nestingen. I am the co-founder of a women's health startup called Reblim Health. We support those navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and adoption journeys. And my main mission and what I talk about with you all here is reminding you to remember how to grieve, to grow and to rest. So today on that theme, I have really been thinking about, you know, beginning of the year, beginning of a new month. I have challenged myself this weekend because I've been asking myself the same question, which is, have I been resting enough?
And the answer to that question, honestly, is no, I have not. And when you don't rest enough, it kind of affects all these other everything feels harder in my experience when you're not resting enough. And so I kind of had this gut check with my myself and with my husband. Good morning. Good morning, junk food junkie. I love that. Hey, Josh. And so I was really just checking myself on that. Like how can I be a little bit more thoughtful as I head into February about really prioritizing rest as it is so important.
And so I'm wondering if that's one that you struggle with or if it's just me. I am someone who's really a night owl. I could be up all hours of the night and that's when I'm most productive. That's when I'm most creative. I'm very much not a morning person. Having a child has made me into more of a morning person just by force, but just forcing myself to really, you know, put my alarm on so that I have to go to bed at a certain time is something that I'm working on. So wanted to take a little space today and talk to you about community.
And community is on my mind for a lot of reasons, but especially in this moment, I Actually, at the end of last year, I am a person who has become a big vision board person. I never used to be that into vision boards, but I've gotten really into them in the last couple of years. Just reading the winter blues play a big part in how we feel at this time of year. Thanks junk food definition of community or a different way that community has shown up for you. Because it can mean so many different things and whether we are actively thinking about it or not, we're in a lot of different groups.
And even if we haven't actively chosen to be who we are just by the nature of being, you know, human beings on the planet. We're part of different communities. So I'm wondering what community, what it means to you, how it shows up for you. If you've thought about that, have you thought about maybe had an intention around what community looks like for you? I'm curious about all that. And I'm like right in the sun. This is like, feels really nice, but I think it's really hard to see. So I'm gonna shift my angle a little bit.
You're just gonna watch me do this together. There we go. Get a little bit different view of this room. Okay, there we go. So I've been thinking about Again, I'm wearing my every blue hat, which I wear often over all the time. But I've been thinking about like low impact ways that community can show up when you're going through something challenging. And this is the exact moment I'm thinking of people that are navigating infertility and loss. What does that look like? Low impact might be sending a text message to check in on a random day.
High impact in community might be checking in and sending a note and dropping off flowers or grabbing groceries for a person or offering to watch their other children or kind of being a little more intentional, like one more step into what that might plan to. Good morning, Luke. Good to see you. Thank you. Yeah, thank you for my pictures in the background. I think maybe I'll wrap up by sharing the story about all those pictures because they each have kind of a totally different meaning, different phases of my life.
That might be a good tour. So anyway, I've been with you for like these different ways that you show up, these different ways that you maybe foster community, show up in your community. I'm always wearing the lens of Green Bloom Health. and thinking about what that might look like. And then I was wondering if that could be applied to other spaces. So could I show up in community like with my neighbors just checking in to see if they're feeling safe, feel if their voice is feeling heard for what they need.
If I'm checking in and I'm dropping off things that they need at the right times. I think it's just those little check-ins make a really big difference being in any community that you're in. I don't think I've ever received a text message from someone that says just thinking of you and been frustrated by it or been thought like, oh, this is nice. It's like, oh, that's so kind that you're thinking of me and that you're, you know, taking energy and effort to put a little moment into letting me know that you care.
So another way that I have been thoughtful about being in community in this year is I've been journaling a lot about it. I've been journaling like, what does community look like for me? What do I offer? And then what am I hoping to receive? This has been another way that I've really tried to be, again, intentional about community, a word that is resonant with me and something that I'm really focused on in 2026, but I thought I would share that with you. in case it's interesting. And in case you want to share any of those, take any of those ideas and then they might resonate with you as well.
Ooh, junk food junkie. Okay, good idea. I'm going to save this for next week's live because I'm going to go into further detail. And then there's a few other pictures over here you can't really see. So next week will be storytelling. I'll schedule that right now. Okay, on that note, thinking of next week, this is coming up, storytelling of my pictures in the background. And, you know, I think that they actually connect into this theme of rest and this theme of community. So I'm digging it, I'm digging it.
All right. I hope you all have a wonderful week. I am here to remind you that you should rest more. I'm also saying that reminder to myself, sharing it out to you as well. You don't have to earn your rest. I found that scheduling my rest, however, is something that is really important. and I do it more when I do schedule time. This is my day to take a little rest, take a little beat, take a second to just have space for myself. So everybody be in community with all of you. Thank you so much for joining this live and I'll see y'all soon.
Take care.
