About this listen

Stillness isn’t laziness. It’s a skill — and for ambitious moms, it might be the most radical one.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why our culture pushes constant productivity — and why this is especially hard on ambitious women and mothers.

  • The body’s signals that you need stillness: from racing thoughts to shoulder tension and snapping at your kids.

  • How to redefine rest as truly productive, supporting your creativity, resilience, and nervous system health.

  • Small, guilt-free practices to reconnect with “doing nothing,” like mindful walks or sitting with a cup of tea.

  • How to use body cues to catch overdoing before burnout hits.

  • And why your vacation shouldn’t become just another packed checklist (plus why boredom is actually a gift for you and your kids).

If your mind struggles to slow down or you feel guilty when you’re not ticking boxes, this episode is your invitation to pause. Start with one moment. One breath. One brave choice to just be.
