What if the key to being more energized, focused, and emotionally present wasn’t grinding harder, but pausing more often?

In this episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, I challenge the nonstop hustle culture by advocating for something refreshingly simple: intentional rest. Whether it’s a 10-minute nap in the car, a quiet moment staring out the window, or creating a restful space in your workday, rest is not laziness, it’s strategy.

I'm sharing my personal rituals and observations about how short pauses improve energy, creativity, and presence, both at work and at home. This episode is your encouragement to slow down, reset, and listen to what your body’s been asking for all along.

“Nobody else controls your calendar, you do. So you can be intentional about your rest, just like you are with your meetings.”
