Ep. 138: REST. The Self-Care We Forget To Take

Aug 14, 2025
 

This week on Maybe I Can®, I’m talking about something I’ve been wrestling with all summer: the guilt that creeps in when we slow down. Between unexpected home repairs, a scary health scare with my dog Yogi, and a pile of work projects, I found myself running on empty — and still telling myself I couldn’t rest because I’d just been on vacation.

Sound familiar? In this episode, I share what finally made me hit pause, how I reframed my idea of productivity, and why rest isn’t something we have to earn — it’s something we need to survive and thrive.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for doing nothing, I think you’ll feel seen in this conversation.
