Do you ever take a break, but still feel anxious, guilty, or like you should be doing more? In this solo episode, I share a personal story about what happened when I tried to rest over Memorial Day weekend...and couldn’t stop mentally working. This experience led me to a major realization: I’ve learned how to take time off—but I haven’t learned how to actually rest.


If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion, struggling with productivity guilt, or finding it hard to slow down without spiraling, this one’s for you.


From this episode, you’ll learn:

-Six simple, powerful steps to help you access true rest

-How to identify the type of rest your body and spirit actually need

-Ways to quiet your inner critic during downtime

-How to reframe rest as a creative necessity, not a luxury

-A powerful mindset shift to help you stop chasing “done”

I also share wisdom from listeners on what changes for them creatively when they actually unplug.Rest is part of the creative process. Let’s learn how to let it in, together.
