You’ve cleared space in your calendar… but the second you try to slow down, your chest tightens, your mind races, and you feel like you’re disappearing.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the hidden reason rest feels unsafe for so many high-achieving women—and why it has nothing to do with time management. I’ll share how early conditioning wires your nervous system to see movement as safety and stillness as risk, and why taking a day off can feel more like danger than relief. You’ll learn the small, practical steps to retrain your body to rest without panic—and why this shift is less about “self-care” and more about reclaiming your identity. If slowing down makes you restless or guilty, you’re not lazy—you’re running an outdated safety program.

You’ll Learn:

• How early conditioning ties your worth to constant doing

• The nervous system’s role in resisting stillness

• Why “just take a day off” advice doesn’t work

• Small, safe ways to start resting without overwhelm

• One reframe that turns rest into a source of power
