Rest is not laziness. It is a business strategy.
In this week’s episode of The Aligned CEO™, I sit down with my business besties Tanisha Molden (Molden Law) and Charmaine Brown (Connections Consulting + Simply Living Me) to unpack the biggest myths about rest and reveal how shifting into guilt free rest practices completely changed our revenue, creativity, and leadership.
For years we believed the hustle myth. That exhaustion was the price of growth. That naps, boundaries, and retreats meant you were falling behind. The truth is very different. Rest protects your bottom line. Studies show that structured rest can increase productivity by up to 40 percent.
In this conversation we share:
✔️ The lies we believed about rest as CEOs and how those lies broke us
✔️ What burnout actually looks like when you ignore your nervous system
✔️ The rituals that keep both revenue and sanity protected, from extended meditation to quarterly retreats
✔️ How co creating with your team allows you to let go of control without losing momentum
✔️ Why outsourcing, boundaries, and guilt free resets are not indulgence but revenue protection
Action step: Start small. Block just 20 minutes this week to reset. Notice how much sharper your decisions become.
If you are a founder, entrepreneur, or CEO who feels pulled into every detail of your business, this episode is your permission slip to reclaim rest as ROI.
