Ep 151: When to Strive? When to Rest?


Listen Later

Most high-achieving women have gotten to where they are by checking the boxes and making things happen. If this is you, you’ve probably also worked to balance those overdeveloped striving parts with your significantly underdeveloped resting parts.

But what happens when life throws a curveball and suddenly everything feels hard again? Do you push harder and abandon the rest you've fought to prioritize, or is there another way?

If you’ve been working on slowing down but still face challenges that threaten to pull you back into hustle mode, this episode is for you. Because here’s the thing: you don’t have to choose. You can be successful and take care of yourself. You can achieve your goals and be fully present in your life.

Something magical happens when these opposing parts take a both-and stance instead of an either-or stance. The goal isn't to silence either voice or to perfectly balance them, but to heal what they're protecting underneath. In this episode, we’ll explore what it looks like to operate from self and help these parts heal so they can collaborate instead of fighting with each other.
