In this soulful episode, we flip the script on rest. As many head into the July 4th holiday — a time often packed with plans, productivity, and pressure — Dr. Katie challenges the hustle-hard mindset with one radical question:

But not the kind of rest that collapses on the couch after a whirlwind day. This episode explores rest as spaciousness — mental, sensory, creative, spiritual — and unpacks why true rest is not stillness, but space from the noise, the proving, and the productivity myths that dominate our culture.

You’ll hear:

• Eye-opening stats on how little Americans truly rest
• Why we feel guilty for the rest our souls desperately need
• A breakdown of 4 transformative types of rest
• A fresh reframe: the opposite of productivity isn’t laziness — it’s presence
• Reflection questions to help you return to joy, imagination, and ease

This isn’t just a break — it’s a reset. An invitation. A soul spark.

So before you overbook your holiday… take 20 minutes to breathe. Your soul will thank you.
