Description

Does rest make you feel guilty, anxious, or unsafe? In this episode, I explore why rest often feels threatening for high‑achieving women and how this is rooted in nervous system patterns and trauma responses. You’ll learn why productivity has become tied to self‑worth, why the body resists stillness, and how trauma‑informed tools and subconscious healing can help you reclaim rest as your right—not something you have to earn.
