Why does rest feel so radical for women? In this episode, Bryony poses listeners’ questions to Nicola Jane Hobbs, looking at the hidden pressures women face to "do it all," especially during demanding periods like school holidays.
Nicola shares practical advice on asking for help, having candid conversations with partners about the mental load, and why letting go of perfectionism can feel both scary and liberating. They unpack the link between self-worth and productivity, offer actionable tips for managing guilt around relaxation, and highlight how compassionate self-talk and community support can help women reclaim rest – and joy – in their daily lives.
