"Take a Break or Break Down: The Power of Rest in Taking Control"

Think pushing through exhaustion makes you strong? Think again. If you don’t take control of your energy, burnout will take control of you.

Rest isn’t a retreat—it’s a strategy, and in this episode, Hilary Saxton is here to show you why prioritising rest is the ultimate power move for high achievers.

From hilarious personal experiences (yes, putting your phone in the fridge is a sign you need a break) to the science behind rest and productivity, Hilary unpacks why taking time out isn’t just necessary—it’s non-negotiable.

She shares simple, game-changing ways to incorporate micro and macro rest into your routine, so you can sharpen decision-making, boost creativity, and avoid the crash-and-burn cycle.

💡 Rest is a power move – The most successful people schedule it.

💡 Pushing through exhaustion is a mistake – It leads to bad decisions, burnout, and brain fog.

💡 Boundaries = productivity – Say no, schedule downtime, and protect your energy like your life depends on it (because it does).

💡 Micro-rests & macro-rests – Whether it’s a Yoga Nidra session (seriously, try it) or a weekend away, your brain and body will thank you.
