PURPOSESCAPING : Build confidence to reinvent and find purpose in midlife

I Am Human: Learning to Rest Without Guilt


Listen Later

Author, executive coach, and personal branding strategist Amanda Miller Littlejohn shares a powerful reading from Chapter Six of her book, The Rest Revolution, and opens up about her ongoing journey to embrace rest in a world that glorifies hustle.

If you’ve ever struggled with slowing down, even after realizing you're burned out, this vulnerable reflection will meet you where you are. Amanda explores the deep roots of our overworking habits and offers a gentle reminder: it takes time—and compassion—to unlearn the machine mindset.

In this episode:

  • The real reason rest doesn’t feel easy

  • Why burnout is more than a personal failure

  • Embracing stillness without guilt

  • Creating new mental grooves and habits

  • Giving yourself grace as you recalibrate

    📘 The Rest Revolution is available now. Order the book or review it here.
