The Lie of Productive Rest

You’re doing everything “right” —

The journaling. The breathwork. The quiet mornings.

But if you’re still exhausted, there’s something deeper going on…

You might be stuck in productive rest,

A subtle form of striving, and your rest becomes another performance.

In today’s episode, we’re calling it out.

What we cover:

• Why rest isn’t restoring you

• The signs your nervous system is still bracing

• What real rest actually feels like in your body

• Why routines aren’t enough for recovery

• The one metaphor that changed everything for me

• A faith-rooted invitation back to presence

This is for the high-achieving woman who’s tired of pretending her peace is working.
