About this listen

We explore the powerful concept of doing absolutely nothing—and why that might be the most revolutionary act of self-care in a world obsessed with hustle. From battling the guilt that creeps in when we rest to carving out sacred spaces for flop-mode living, this episode is all about embracing stillness.

Featuring:

• A “Would You Survive?” scenario: 8 hours in a silent room with only your thoughts
• Why rest feels wrong even when we’re running on empty
• How parenthood (especially motherhood) complicates the idea of doing nothing
• Creating sacred spaces in your home for relaxation and reset
• The mental gymnastics of justifying rest to ourselves
• How our relationship with rest changes as we grow
• A chaotic showdown of rest preferences: accidental naps vs. intentional ones, silence vs. background noise, and more
