Ever find yourself saying, "But I rested… so why am I still exhausted?" Yeah, I've been there too. In this episode, I break down the real reason why rest isn't always restorative - especially for high-performing women - and what to do instead. I'll walk you through seven simple but powerful micro practices that take five minutes or less and are designed to restore the specific kind of energy you're lacking.

Because sometimes, doing "nothing" isn't the answer - doing the right small thing is.

Whether you're stuck on the edge of burnout or just feeling off and can't figure out why, this episode will help you get back to feeling clear, calm, and centered. And if this is your wake-up call? I'll share how my Month of Me Method AI Companion™ can help you go even deeper.

• The key difference between rest and restoration (and why it matters)
• 7 five-minute restorative practices based on the type of depletion you're feeling - mental, emotional, physical or otherwise
• How to recover faster and feel better without needing a full day off or all-day spa experience
