You’d think resting—the thing our bodies literally need to function—would be easy, right? HA. If only.
If you’ve ever tried to relax only to feel a creeping sense of guilt, a nagging list of things you should be doing, or an overwhelming urge to reorganize your entire pantry instead—this episode is for you.
Bree discusses being in the weirdest limbo of her life—stuck in Canada, waiting for her UK spousal visa to be approved. No major responsibilities. No urgent tasks. Just… time. And instead of embracing it like a self-care queen, she feels restless as hell.
Why do so many of us struggle to slow down? Why does rest feel wrong, even when we know we need it? And more importantly—how do we rewire our brains to actually embrace rest without feeling like useless blobs?
In this episode, we’re diving into:
✔ Why your brain fights against rest (and how to outsmart it)
✔ The sneaky ways society has conditioned us to believe rest = laziness
✔ How to actually enjoy slowing down—without the guilt
✔ 5 ways Bree is staying sane while being forced to rest (and what’s actually working!)
✨ If rest feels harder than hustle, this episode is your permission slip to finally slow the F down—without the guilt!
