Rest sounds simple — until you actually try to do it.

If you're a driven, high-functioning mom, sitting down to rest often feels stressful, unproductive, or even irresponsible. Your brain keeps scanning for what still needs to be done, and before you know it, you're back up doing "just one more thing."

In this episode, I'm breaking down why rest feels so hard for driven moms, how we get stuck in constant "ON" mode, and why the all-or-nothing thinking around rest keeps us exhausted. We'll talk about what rest actually is (and what it's not), and how to approach it in a way that supports your drive instead of fighting it.

This isn't about letting things fall apart or becoming a different kind of person. It's about learning how to rest strategically so you can keep showing up the way you want to — without running yourself into the ground.

Episode Highlights:

• Why driven moms struggle to rest even when they're exhausted
• How identity, judgment, and fear of letting things slip keep us in "go mode"
• The difference between unstructured rest and restorative rest
• The four types of rest every mom needs (physical, mental, emotional, and functional)
• A practical, realistic process for building rest into your life without added stress
• How to tell whether the kind of rest you're taking is actually working
