Raise your hand if you’re tired of burnout culture and want to stop apologizing for needing rest.⁣

We’re humans - not robots! - and rest should be a balanced part of our life, not a reward for working ourselves to death. In today’s episode we’re chatting about rest as a rebellion against society’s obsession with stress.⁣ We’ll cover:

_why this topic is so important to me

_why this topic is so important for women’s wellness and hormones

_7 types of rest

_a time inventory practice

_how to incorporate more rest into your life

It might be uncomfortable to allow yourself some rest, but it’s time to be a little rebellious against the glorification of stress in pursuit of sustained and balanced living.

If you’re in need of some guided rest, I offer 30 minute, virtual mindfulness sessions or custom meditations.

Be sure to follow along on social @theanythinglgowspodcast and @sageglowstudio. Take care of your mind, body and soul and I’ll see you next time.
