Today’s episode is powerful, Thrivesters - I’m diving into a topic most high-achieving women like you struggle with but rarely talk about: rest. Not as a luxury, but as a requirement for resilience, clarity, and confidence.
For example - my friend who was too exhausted to get off her bed and go to the beach - even though that’s exactly what she needed. On a Thursday. In Cape Cod.
Sound familiar? We, as women have been conditioned to believe that we have to earn our rest and today, we’re unpacking why that belief is holding us back and may be causing more damage than we know.
We’ll explore:
Why women are conditioned to associate rest with laziness or selfishness
How tying your identity to your output makes rest feel dangerous
The sneaky guilt that shows up when you try to slow down
Science-backed reasons rest = resilience
This is your reminder that rest isn’t indulgent. It’s intelligent. And reclaiming it might just be the boldest move you make this year.
You’ll learn how:
Rest improves executive function, decision-making, and emotional regulation
Women experience higher rates of burnout because of our output-driven identity
Guilt around rest is a symptom of conditioning - not truth
Resilience isn’t pushing through; it’s bouncing back - and this requires recovery (ie, REST).
Your challenge this week: rest without the guilt and without “earning” it. Take 20 minutes just for you - no justification required.
Then - go out there and thrive like you mean it!
