    2025/05/28
    In this episode of Resilience Gone Wild, host Jessica Morgenthal explores one of the most fascinating sleep strategies in the natural world—the mucus bubble of the parrotfish. Each night, parrotfish excrete a jelly-like mucus cocoon that envelops their bodies, acting as a protective shield against predators and parasites while they sleep on the ocean floor. Jessica uses this captivating natural behavior to highlight a powerful metaphor for human rest and resilience. Just like parrotfish build a physical barrier to sleep safely, we too can create intentional routines and mental boundaries that shield us from the stressors that disrupt our rest. She shares practical tips to protect your rest from external threats like noise and light, and internal ones like overthinking, anxiety, and emotional overload. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build better sleep habits, establish emotional safety, and restore their strength through the power of rest.
