Listen Later

Thank you so much for tuning in to this special series of the podcast focused on my new book, The Rest Revolution: How to Reclaim Your Rhythm and Conquer Burnout When Overworking Has Become the Norm, which comes out on November 13th.

 

I’m thrilled to share this book with you because it’s my most important work yet. In The Rest Revolution, I explore how we’ve been conditioned to treat ourselves like machines and how this mindset leads to burnout, exhaustion, and a disconnection from our true selves.

 

The Rest Revolution isn’t just about rest; it’s about the great realignment that is happening in this country. People are slowly waking up to the idea that good lives require more than work and achievement. Good lives require you getting in alignment with the purposeful work, key relationships, and energizing activities that are most important to you. 

 

I interview high achieving professionals, psychologists, sociologists, and medical experts on how we can you can reclaim your humanity, find more balance, and choose to live and work in a way that truly aligns with your purpose. It’s about breaking free from the toxic cycle of overwork and finding a new, sustainable way forward. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on fumes or just going through the motions, this book is for you.

If you love this podcast, I know you’ll love the book. The Rest Revolution will be available on November 12th from all major booksellers, and you can visit www.therestrevolutionbook.com to preorder your copy now. I can’t wait for you to read it.

About Today's Episode

In this episode, I interview Natalie MacNeil, discussing her journey as a futurist and the importance of overcoming burnout through rest and deep listening. We explore the intersection of futurism and embodiment practices, the significance of trusting intuition, and how AI can empower entrepreneurs to achieve their goals while maintaining balance in their lives. The conversation emphasizes the need for transformation in the face of rapid technological changes and the potential for diverse voices to emerge in storytelling.

In this juicy episode, Natalie and I explore the transformative impact of AI on productivity and service-based businesses, the evolution of ambition and authenticity, and the importance of rest and healing from burnout. Natalie shares her journey of building an AI dream team, the challenges and benefits of integrating AI into business workflows, and how her relationship with ambition has shifted from seeking external validation to focusing on authentic contributions. We even discuss the societal implications of AI on job roles and the necessity of embedding rest into daily life to combat burnout.
