In this episode of Traversing Tuesdays, EmKay shares a personal story of navigating fluctuating energy, chronic illness, and the emotional toll of traditional productivity mindsets. Instead of pushing through or trying to “catch up,” she explores how to plan your day based on energy rhythms, not guilt.
You’ll learn how to recognize small energy boosts, build a flexible task system that honors both movement and rest, and shift your perspective so that naps and daydreams aren’t roadblocks — they’re strategy.
Plus, Sister Cat delivers a PSA that may forever change how you view rest, shame, and your right to reclaim stillness.
If you’ve ever wrestled with burnout, creative fatigue, or the pressure to “keep up,” this gentle episode is here to whisper: there’s another way.
