138. Rest Is Not a Reward — Why It’s Essential for Your Health
Manage episode 483951762 series 3409414
If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking a break, believe that hustling is the only path to success, or struggled to sit still without your mind racing — this episode is for you.
This week we’re flipping the script on how we view rest, because let’s be honest, rest isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. From physical and emotional rest to social and spiritual restoration, we explore how true rest goes far beyond sleep and scrolling.
In this episode:
- Why rest has a “PR problem” and how hustle culture feeds into burnout
- The difference between zoning out and restorative rest
- How your body heals, grows muscle, and restores energy through downtime
- Personal stories of rest rituals — from beach naps and massages to dog hugs and plant-checking
- How to redefine rest as an act of resistance and reclaim your right to slow down
Let’s connect and keep the conversation going!
