About this listen
Today’s episode of Polished Beauty Podcast is your personal permission slip to pause. Dr. Daisy Ayim dives deep into the art and science of taking a break — mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In a world that glorifies nonstop productivity, she unpacks why intentional rest isn’t optional… it’s essential.
Dr. Ayim breaks down the biology of burnout, the hormonal and nervous system impact of chronic stress, the beauty benefits of downtime, and the powerful mindset shift that happens when high-achieving women give themselves space to breathe.
This episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed — to stop, reset, and reconnect with yourself.
Special Announcement: Polished Beauty Podcast will be taking a full break in December 2025. No episodes will be released during the month as Dr. Ayim practices exactly what she teaches — intentional rest and renewal. The podcast will return Wednesday, January 7, 2026, with a fresh, elevated, polished start to the year.
If you’ve been running on fumes, operating on autopilot, or ignoring your own needs, this episode is your gentle nudge:
Rest is not a reward. Rest is required. And sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is take a break. Let's get polished!
