What if the secret to actually thriving—to feeling creative, energized, and clear—isn't about hustling harder, but about resting better?

This episode is a gentle reminder that your energy is precious. I’m sharing my own journey of unlearning the toxic "grind" mindset and falling in love with the magic of a good night's sleep.

We'll get into the biology of rest, and I'll walk you through the simple, cozy rituals that helped me completely fix my sleep routine naturally.

In this episode, we’ll get into:

• • The dangerous myth of the "sleepless elite" and why we glorify burnout.

  • The simple science of what happens to your brain when it’s deprived of sleep (hint: it involves cellular garbage).

  • How sleep acts as your body's primary repair state for your muscles, immune system, and hormones.

  • My personal journey and the non-negotiable tools I used to fix my sleep, including the 4-7-8 breathing method and understanding my chronotype.

  • How to finally let go of the guilt associated with rest and reframe it as your ultimate strength.

  • Why you can’t out-hustle your biology, and how to work smarter by truly resting.

So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let’s talk about how to finally feel rested. You more than deserve it.
