About this listen
Why You Keep Avoiding Breaks and How It’s Quietly Burning You Out
Ever find yourself dreaming of a weekend off-grid — yet talking yourself out of a 5-minute break? You’re not alone, and no, you’re not lazy. In this episode, we unpack the hidden perfectionism behind why so many ambitious moms resist rest unless it looks just right.
I explore the fantasy of the “perfect break,” how dismissing micro-pauses sabotages your well-being, and why your nervous system is craving presence — not escape.
You’ll learn:
🌀 Why short breaks feel “pointless” and how to reframe them
🌀 What your body is really trying to tell you when you’re fidgety or rushing
🌀 Why you don’t need to nap to rest — but you do need permission
🌀 A somatic practice to reclaim rest in real-time
Tune in and take a breath — this one’s for the part of you that keeps going, that keeps giving when what you really need... is to rest and receive.
