About this listen

The holidays are here, and if you’ve ever felt guilty for taking a break—or doing absolutely nothing—this episode is for you. In a world that glorifies hustle, Rosie and Roula remind us that slowing down isn’t lazy; it’s essential.

Join them as they explore why downtime makes us squirm, why boredom feels like failure, and how our culture has conditioned us to see rest as unproductive. This episode is packed with insights, laughs, and the occasional fizzy passionfruit soda.

In this fun and thought-provoking episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why doing nothing often comes with a side of guilt
  • How history, culture, and productivity pressures shape our habits
  • The impact of constant busyness on our kids and family life
  • Mental health benefits of slowing down and embracing boredom
  • Some unexpected Dutch idioms that will stick with you

Take this as your holiday permission slip: pause, breathe, and enjoy some well-earned stillness.
