What if tiredness isn't weakness? What if it's the most honest thing your body is telling you?
In this episode, we talk about why we treat exhaustion like a personal failure instead of listening to what it's actually telling us. I share what it was like being Mayor of Truro, running on empty, showing up to every event because stopping felt like letting people down. We explore why busyness has become a badge of honour, why animals rest without guilt and we can't, and what actually happens in your brain when you don't get proper rest. This isn't about life hacks. It's about giving yourself permission to stop before you have nothing left.
Key topics:
Why tiredness is not a weakness but honest information from your body
The culture of celebrating exhaustion as proof of commitment
What happens in your brain during deep sleep and why rest matters
Thich Nhat Hanh on how animals rest and heal without guilt
Practical permission to disconnect and stop being on call
