“True leisure is a condition of the soul, not the absence of work.”

In this special episode of Lead with Culture, host Kate Volman invites us to reflect on the life-changing message in Matthew Kelly’s book Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy. Drawing from the book’s powerful themes, Kate explores why so many leaders struggle with rest, what real leisure looks like, and how embracing stillness can lead to a more joyful, human way of living.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why work is easier than leisure—and why that’s a problem
• How rest can help you show up as your best self
• The joy of doing things with no outcome attached
