In a world that glorifies hustle and equates productivity with worth, rest can feel… uncomfortable. In this episode, we unpack the reasons why slowing down can feel so hard—and why it’s actually essential for your mental health.
We explore how societal expectations, family beliefs, and internalized guilt shape our relationship with rest, and why overfunctioning often hides burnout, anxiety, and emotional fatigue. We also dive into what real rest looks like (hint: it’s not just naps!) and how reframing rest as a tool for resilience and healing can transform your mental wellness.
You’ll hear personal insights from us as therapists, along with tips on how to unlearn rest avoidance, set boundaries, and redefine success on your own terms.
✨ Whether you’re a chronic “do-er” or someone learning to sit still without guilt—this episode is for you.
