In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script on hustle culture and diving into something most of us desperately need more of: rest. If you’ve ever thought “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” or powered through on caffeine and willpower alone, this conversation is your wake-up call—literally.
We’ll explore the real reason sleep is so essential—not just for feeling rested, but for healing, clarity, and emotional resilience. You’ll learn why rest is a non-negotiable part of intentional living and how small, manageable shifts in your daily routine can lead to better health, happiness, and peace of mind.
Plus, we’re breaking down 7 types of rest that go way beyond just getting a full night’s sleep. *Spoiler Alert: you might be missing a kind of rest you didn’t even know you needed.
