Growth-Industries- Hero-Banner-Rasheda-Jenkins

Spiritual growth through workshops, retreats, literature & lived experience.

Through public speaking, mindful movement, corporate partnerships, and women's retreats, Rasheda challenges the status quo and shares REST as a revolutionary disruption to the cultural norm of "Do more."

What's REST?

R

RECOVERED

What you lose from over-extending yourself, you regain with REST.

E

EMPOWERED

Set boundaries & take back control of your time. The feeling is priceless.

S

STRONGER

Strength to tackle what lies ahead is the biggest flex.

T

TRANSFORMED

When you say "Yes" to yourself, you become unrecognizable.

FOUNDER & VISIONARY

MEET RASHEDA

After 12 years in construction, Rasheda sustained a traumatic brain injury from another's careless act on the job. No longer able to do the work due to chronic headaches, fatigue, and sensitivity to light and sound, Rasheda journeyed on the long road to recovery.

After trying all sorts of therapy, nothing allowed Rasheda to regain what was lost but REST. Using her pain as a catalyst, she turned it into purpose and founded Growth Industries — a place where REST is a strategy for success.

My Moment of REST

by Rasheda Jenkins

My-Moment-of-Rest-Journal-Mental-Health

Struggling with burnout? This 31-day journal offers daily prompts for rest with affirmations and stretches to help you recharge. It's a self-guided way to take care of yourself and step away from the constant pressure to overwork.

We often view REST as sleeping, lying down or taking a nap. However it is more, so much more then that. REST is a revolutionary disruption to the status quo.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“Rasheda is always a ball of energy who gets the crowd moving! Her high spirit motivates others to get involved. I really enjoyed her stretch class. Fitness is key to our overall health, but stretching is often a neglected part of it. Her class is both much-needed and relaxing. Stretching is definitely a prerequisite for exercising, and Rasheda’s class prepares us for that while also offering relaxation for the mind. Thank you for all you do for the community!”
 
- Marquita Walter Community Leader

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“I have appreciated the thoughtful encouragement you offered parents in our program, how you made them feel at home, and recognized their skills.  Your culturally-tailored feedback on our surveys and tools has helped continue to create that environment.”
