For a long time, I believed rest was something I had to earn.

Finish the work.
Take care of everyone else.
Solve the problems.
Then maybe… I could rest.

But life has a way of teaching us that restoration is not something we earn after exhaustion. It is something we must protect if we want to continue showing up for the people and responsibilities we care about.

In this episode of The Habit of Showing Up™, I reflect on the role rest plays in healing, resilience, and emotional well-being. I talk about how our bodies use sleep to repair, regulate stress, and restore energy, and why learning to protect our rest is an important part of living intentionally.
