About this listen

 We know we’re tired. We talk about burnout constantly. And yet, when we finally slow down, rest can feel uncomfortable. Nisreen Abdel-Majid explores why rest so often feels like failure, and how we can take small steps towards embracing rest and reassessing our needs. Susi Niazi is a senior corporate executive navigating leadership responsibilities and a nonstop pace at work. She's also a mother of two figuring out how to balance work and life, by adding bits of restful moments into her day. We hear from Katrina Onstad, author of The Weekend Effect, who highlights the history of the 5-day workweek, and how to make the best of our 2-day weekends. Nathan Sartore, artist and Managing Director of The Disability Collective, introduces us to the idea of Crip Time, which is very popular in artistic spaces, and challenges the way we bend to the clock. And Frances Wong is a yoga instructor who helps us unpack our complicated relationship with stillness, and offers suggestions on starting our relationship with rest slowly.
