About this listen

Why does slowing down feel so uncomfortable? For many of us, rest stirs guilt, unease, or even panic — as if stillness itself is dangerous. In this episode of RoohCast, we explore why rest feels unsafe: the ways hustle culture and old survival patterns tie our worth to productivity, how the nervous system resists stillness, and why busyness has long felt like protection.

Through gentle reflection and quiet storytelling, this episode reframes rest not as laziness, but as wisdom. We’ll sit with the guilt, unlearn the myth of productivity-as-worth, and practice tiny moments of pause that teach the body a new truth: you are valuable even when you’re not producing.

Rest is not indulgence. Rest is rebellion. Rest is healing.
