How often do you catch yourself saying, “I’ll rest when I’ve done everything”? In this episode, I’m gently challenging the belief that rest has to be earned and offering a new way to think about slowing down.

We’ll talk about why your nervous system can’t wait until the to-do list is done, how modern life wires us to ignore our need for pause, and 3 tiny shifts you can make this week to feel more grounded, supported, and connected.

You’ll also hear:

  • Why rest isn’t laziness, it’s life-giving
  • The question I ask myself when I feel guilty slowing down
  • A few simple practices you can try right now - no extra time required
