If you've ever struggled with burnout, productivity guilt, or felt like you have to earn your rest, this episode is for you. Do you ever feel guilty for slowing down? Maybe you finally sit down at the end of the day, only to have your mind immediately race through everything you should be doing instead. The laundry. The dishes. The emails.
