56. How to Rest Without Guilt (and Why It’s So Hard)

July 02, 2025

If you try to rest and just end up feeling more anxious, more guilty, or more overwhelmed… you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why resting is so hard even when you know you need it.

Because it’s not just about taking a break.

We’re getting honest about why rest feels wrong for so many of us and how it’s not laziness, it’s actually part of our survival wiring.

We’ll talk about what your nervous system really needs, how old beliefs around worth and control get in the way, and what it takes to build a new kind of trust with yourself. I will share my own story of how I transformed my idea of rest and how I show up today in productive rest.

I’m also sharing the quote that completely changed how I rest at night. Something that helped me let go, settle in, and finally sleep without shame or pressure.

This isn’t just about slowing down.

It’s literally about reclaiming your energy.
