The Difference Between Rest and Avoidance (Ep 67)

Listen Later

In this special Martin Luther King Jr. Day episode, host Kelly Jackson dives deep into Dr. King's teachings on love and its powerful role in creating sustainable change. Kelly distinguishes between burnout and disappearance culture, exploring the nuanced differences between true rest and mere avoidance. Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking insights, she emphasizes the importance of regulation, sustained presence, and supportive relationships in maintaining self-love and effective leadership. Tune in to discover how to restore your capacity, stay engaged, and harness the energy to keep moving forward without self-abandonment.

From the Episode:

  • "  Sometimes what we are calling rest is actually the nervous system pulling away because it doesn't feel supported enough to stay, and that's not a personal flaw. That's physiology."
  • "Burnout culture is gonna tell us, push harder, override your limits, prove your worth through output... But when people finally collapse under that pressure—and they do—the pendulum often swings all the way to the other side."
  • " ...rest that only removes demand doesn't automatically restore capacity."
  • "  Avoidance isn't laziness and it's not a lack of desire. It is essentially your nervous system that is saying. I don't feel safe enough to sit with this yet. I don't feel safe enough to stay with this yet."
