We’ve been conditioned to believe that rest is something we have to earn—that we can only slow down once we’ve done enough. But the truth is, rest is not a reward; it’s a necessity. Constantly pushing yourself without pause leads to burnout, exhaustion, and a loss of motivation. True growth happens when you allow yourself to recharge, not just when you’re constantly doing.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the toxic productivity mindset and learning how to prioritize rest without guilt. You’ll discover why slowing down is essential for your well-being, how to reframe rest as a non-negotiable part of your routine, and practical ways to integrate it into your daily life. It’s time to stop equating your worth with how much you accomplish—resting is doing something, too.

With love, Mafe
