Description

Welcome to another short and empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week...

Today, we explore the beautiful and grounding wisdom in Alan Cohen’s quote about the equal importance of work and rest - and how embracing both can transform your wellbeing and your progress toward your dreams:

"There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest.
Use both and overlook neither."

Three key takeaways you can expect:

  1. Why rest is just as essential as action when building your dream life.

  2. How small, intentional moments of stillness can reset your energy and creativity.

  3. Simple ways to invite more calm, clarity, and spaciousness into the busy December season.

Listen in and discover how honouring rest can help you make meaningful progress toward living your dream life - in a way that feels aligned, calm, and sustainable.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

…and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛
