Beyond Your Best Plan

“Doing nothing often leads to the very best of something”

In this episode, the Fab 5 is talking about giving yourself permission to do absolutely nothing - without the guilt. Hustle culture has taught us that we can always be doing something to get ahead, but it is unsustainable for your mental and physical health. Doing nothing will help you refresh, refuel, and recover so you can show up as the best, most creative, version of yourself when you are dedicating time to work towards your goals. 

Throughout this conversation, you will hear the Fab 5 talk about how they have learned to be intentional about doing nothing. They talk about going through different seasons of self-care, why it is necessary to slow down, what the seven types of rest are, what it means to “do nothing”, how to address feeling guilty about slowing down, and so much more.
