Rest as Resistance: Why Taking a Break is a Radical Act for Wealth Building
Description
In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we call BS on hustle culture—the toxic myth that being exhausted is somehow a badge of honor. Spoiler alert: it’s not. It’s capitalism doing what capitalism does best—keeping us too tired to question it.
Through real talk, personal stories, and a few spicy historical receipts, we break down why rest isn’t lazy—it’s revolutionary. You’ll learn how rest fuels wealth, power, and actual sustainability (not just another burnout cycle dressed up as “success”).
So grab your tea, cancel that guilt trip, and get ready to reclaim rest as your most underrated money move.
