Rest is not a reward. It’s a requirement.

And if you’ve ever found yourself trying to earn rest by doing more, fixing yourself, or making everyone else happy first… this one’s for you.

This bite-sized pep talk is your permission slip to stop waiting until you’re on the edge of burnout to rest.

You’re not broken. You don’t need to be fixed.
You just need space - and maybe a nap.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why rest ≠ laziness (even if it feels uncomfortable)
  • The myth of “fixing yourself first”
  • The baggage we bury under our to-do lists
  • How perfectionism, burnout, and people-pleasing are all coping strategies
  • A rebellious reminder that you’re allowed to just be

💜 Because sometimes, the most healing thing you can do… is nothing at all.
