Hello Monday with Jessi Hempel

The Rest Revolution: Amanda Miller Littlejohn on Fighting Burnout and Reclaiming Joy


Listen Later

We’re taught that hard work, overachievement, and never needing a break are the keys to success. But what if this mindset only leads to burnout, rather than to fulfillment? In today’s episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel and Amanda Miller Littlejohn explore the ways in which rest can be revolutionary.


Amanda, an executive coach and author of The Rest Revolution, shares her personal journey from burnout to healing, and explains how we can all reclaim our health, our productivity, and our joy. Together, Jessi and Amanda dive into practical strategies for finding rest in our busy lives, even when it feels like there’s no time for it.


They discuss:

  • The toll of burnout on our mental and physical health
  • How the pandemic helped Amanda confront her own dangerous work habits
  • The importance of redefining success beyond productivity
  • Simple ways to build rest into your daily rhythm
  • Why true rest is essential to creating and sustaining new ideas
  • How to reset your relationship with work and reclaim your health

  • This episode is an essential listen for anyone ready to reimagine how to work, live, and rest.
