Ep 49 - Toxic Productivity: Why Rest Feels Wrong

Do you ever feel guilty when life slows down, like you should immediately fill the space with more tasks? In this episode, I'm talking about why rest feels so uncomfortable, why busyness is worn like a badge of honor, and how to break free from toxic productivity.

This episode will help you recognize the hidden beliefs that tie your worth to how busy you are and give you permission to embrace rest as a powerful part of living a healthy, productive life.

You'll learn:

🔸 The cultural pressure that makes so many of us feel guilty for slowing down

🔸 Why being busy doesn’t necessarily mean you’re productive

🔸 The difference between toxic productivity and healthy productivity

🔸 Why rest is not laziness but a vital part of true productivity

If you’ve been caught in the cycle of go, go, go, this episode will remind you that slowing down is not a failure. It’s an intentional choice that keeps you energized, focused, and aligned with what matters most.
