You’ve been taught to outwork it.
To push through.
To earn rest.
But what if rest isn’t the reward — what if it’s the strategy?
In this solo episode, I share a deeply personal story of almost burning. I also discuss how I ignored the warning signs, pursued clarity through effort, and what ultimately led me to stop.
We dive into:
- The hidden cost of overperformance
- Why your best thinking happens when you're doing nothing
- The neuroscience of rest and the default mode network
- How leaders like Bill Gates and Tricia Hersey reframe rest as power
- What happened when a founder I coached took her first weekend off in over a year

Not because you're weak.
But because you're wise enough to lead differently.
Plus, I share why I’m taking a short break from the podcast — and why maybe, you should too.
