I have been reflecting on some feedback I received from past podcast guests because one message kept coming up over and over again: to give ourselves more grace. The truth is...I really needed to hear that, especially at the years end. As we move toward 2026, I want to talk about productivity, rest, guilt, and why doing nothing once in a while might actually be exactly what we need.

Rest isn't quitting and giving yourself grace isn't lowering the bar, sometimes it is the most disciplined thing you can do.
