Last month, we explored play. This month, we're slowing down to explore something just as important, but often misunderstood: rest.

Because here's the thing. You can get eight hours of sleep, take a vacation, or spend an entire weekend "doing nothing" and still feel completely exhausted.

So what if the problem isn't that you need more rest?

What if you need a different kind?

In this episode, I'm unpacking some of the biggest myths we carry about rest and introducing the powerful framework of the seven types of rest from Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith.

Together, we explore:

  • why sleep isn't the only kind of rest your body needs
  • the difference between play, restoration, and true rest
  • why so many high-achieving women feel guilty slowing down
  • how productivity culture teaches us to earn our rest
  • the seven different types of rest and how to recognize which one you're missing
  • why vacations don't always leave us feeling refreshed
  • and how learning to rest well can actually help us show up more fully in every area of our lives

One of my biggest takeaways?

Rest isn't something you earn after you've done enough.

It's one of the things that allows you to keep doing what matters most.

So as we begin this month's conversation, I hope you'll get curious—not just about whether you're tired, but about what kind of tired you really are.
