Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a warning sign. In this episode, Cheryl & Colleen sit down with Dee, an award-winning realtor from Philadelphia, to have an honest conversation about the importance of rest and balance in both personal and professional life.

Dee shares her deeply personal journey, including two major burnout experiences in 2018 and 2022. Between managing a demanding real estate career, supporting her mother through cancer treatment, and coping with pregnancy loss, she learned the hard way that rest isn’t something you earn—it’s something you need.

Together, they explore the different types of rest—physical, creative, mental, emotional, social, sensory, and spiritual—and practical ways to incorporate rest into daily life. Dee also reveals her strategies for setting boundaries, prioritizing mental and physical well-being, and the power of taking breaks (yes, even from social media!).

If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or just stuck in hustle mode, this conversation will help you rethink rest and take small, meaningful steps toward a more balanced life.
