In this voice note, Leslie Rangel reflects on something that came up in her recent conversation with Jeff Jenkins: rest isn’t just a reward — it’s the foundation.

She shares honest thoughts on how hard rest can feel when life is heavy, especially for those carrying the weight of community, caregiving, or change-making. Leslie unpacks the guilt that often comes with slowing down and reminds listeners that rest is not a luxury — it’s a strategy.

Through personal stories and gentle reflections, she offers ways to reconnect with rest, joy, and the inner child we often push aside. This episode is an invitation to reimagine rest as essential, not optional — and to practice it even when it feels hard.
