Have you ever felt guilty the moment you tried to rest? I have. In this episode, I’m unpacking why so many of us equate busyness with worth—and how that belief slowly erodes our focus, creativity, and performance.

I share how I’ve caught myself policing my own time off and what I’ve learned about the brain’s “default mode network”—the reason our best ideas show up in the shower, on a walk, or on vacation. Rest isn’t the opposite of productivity. It’s part of it.

You’ll walk away with practical tools to rethink recovery as an investment, experiment with small boundaries like a protected evening or real lunch break, and build simple systems that make stepping away feel safe. I’ll also break down five types of rest so you can choose what you actually need instead of pushing through exhaustion.

If you’re ready to stop chasing constant motion and start building consistent excellence, this episode is for you.

Tired of vision statements that look good on paper but go nowhere? This episode unpacks how to create a vision that truly leads—guiding tough decisions, energizing teams, and inspiring customers. Jennifer Johnson reveals why most visions fail: top-down isolation, vague or narrow language, and a focus on status over impact.

Instead, we share a practical, people-first approach: start with real pain points, define the change you want to drive, and test it against hiring, products, and messaging. Hear how one company shifted from “market leadership” to making software feel effortless—and saw retention and clarity soar.

You'll learn how to embed vision into daily actions, celebrate purpose-aligned wins, and show customers real proof, not just slogans. Plus, we explore how to stay transparent when trade-offs hit.
