81. Why Rest, Ease, and Slowness Are the Answer (Not Just During the Holidays)

In this episode, I’m talking about why rest, ease, and slowness aren’t something you earn. They’re the foundation for a sustainable, aligned life. And not just during the holiday season... Letting go of hustle felt irresponsible to me for a long time. Slowing down felt unsafe. But what I’ve learned is that pushing harder isn’t what creates more. Capacity does. This episode is about what changed for me when I stopped forcing, why rest actually creates clarity, creativity, and presence, and how slowing down has made my life and work feel lighter and more sustainable. If you’re tired of rushing, proving, or pushing yourself to the edge, this episode is for you.
