In this episode, we explore the radical topic of rest as leaders. As recovering hustlers, we unpack the journey of slowing down, dismantling the myth that productivity equals worth, & redefining rest as a regenerative force for leadership & creativity. From nervous system regulation to embodied leadership, we explore how honoring our natural rhythms cultivates deeper well-being, innovation, & authentic self-expression.
Join us in a candid, heart-centered conversation filled with personal insights, paradoxes, & laughter (yes, energy drinks & rest can coexist!). Plus, we share simple yet powerful practices to attune to your body’s wisdom, integrate pauses into daily life, & lead from a place of true coherence.
