In this episode of Lead Well, Build Better, Dr. Brittany Connors breaks down the real meaning of rest. She explains why rest is more than a break. It is a capacity-building tool that helps leaders think clearly, lead better, and show up with empathy.

We talk about overlooked signs of burnout, how to build a rest strategy you can use at home, and why rest should sit at the top of your self-care list. Dr. Connors shares practical steps founders can use today, from reviewing their time to building “micro rest” into the week.

If you lead a team, run a business, or feel stretched thin, this conversation gives you grounded tools to restore your energy and reset how you work.

What you will learn:
• How rest expands your capacity
• Signs you are pushing past your limits
• How to build a simple rest routine at home
