Why You Can't Rest (Even When You're Exhausted)
Description
EP: 22
You’re exhausted. You know you need rest.
But the moment you sit down, the guilt starts talking.
The racing thoughts. The shame. The internal checklist reminding you of everything you should be doing.
Sound familiar?
In this episode of Oops, I’m Evolving, we dig into the truth behind why so many high-functioning, self-aware, growth-minded women feel like rest = failure.
This isn’t about laziness — it’s about deep conditioning, survival patterns, and the identity we’ve built around being the one who always keeps it together.
We’ll explore:
- Why rest triggers guilt, shame, and mental spin for so many of us
- The hidden belief that says “if I slow down, I’ll fall apart”
- How your Human Design may explain your energy depletion (and how to recover)
- What a “healthy relationship with rest” actually looks and feels like
- How to start unlearning the pressure to earn your worth through productivity
This episode is a permission slip and a mirror.
Not just to rest… but to unravel the lie that you only deserve it when everything’s done.
Because peace isn’t something you schedule. It’s something you reclaim.
