Welcome back to At Your Best with Roselynn Onah! In today’s powerful season finale of our self-worth and inner validation series, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet essential practices of self-care: Radical Rest.

About the Guest: Kay Johnson

The incredible Kay Johnson returns to talk about the spiritual, emotional, and practical dimensions of rest—especially for women who constantly give to others and forget to care for themselves.

What We Talk About:

• Why rest is a revolutionary act in today’s hustle culture
• How “grinding” is not sustainable—and why we must shift toward living from grace, not depletion
• The difference between escape and restoration—and why both have value
• Why high-achieving women often feel guilty about rest and how to overcome it
• How to set healthy boundaries and say “no” without guilt
• Why energy has a budget—and how to spend yours wisely
• How rest can actually multiply your impact and creativity
• Embracing rest even when it brings anxiety or guilt—and why that’s part of the process

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Rest isn’t laziness. It’s leadership. It helps us recalibrate and show up whole.
• We are multipliers by nature. Without boundaries, we multiply burnout.
• Saying no is a complete sentence.
• Time and energy are sacred resources—budget them with intention.
• Rest is not a reward for productivity. It’s a reminder that you are enough.

🛠️Kay’s Practical Tips for Reclaiming Rest:

• Build daily rest rituals, not just seasonal breaks
• Know your non-negotiables and stick to them
• Honor your emotions instead of pushing through them
• Understand your “why” behind rest—it creates sustainability
• Redefine trust as “the ability to rely without fear of deception”

Final Thought from Roselynn:

“Rest is not a reward for proving yourself. It’s a reminder that you are enough—even when you’re doing nothing.”
