HAPPY 50TH EPISODE!!!! 

Before we dive in I want to let you know that my dog, Gwendoline, was eating an envelope and is very loud toward the end of this episode. I edited out as much as I could! Please forgive her, she is new to podcasting. 

OKAY Let's talk about rest! What we know about rest and why it's good: We need it to live! In this episode I offer tips and advice for setting yourself up for a restful bedtime and morning routine to help you de-stress and reduce anxiety as you're trying to wind down your brain for bed. 

And then we talk about the fact that not everyone has the same access to rest and recovery, and this is what leads to burnout! 

The ugliest part of rest? The fact that it's SO uncomfortable and often feels like a battle, and we try to rush it and get back to work thinking we rested long enough already. You probably need like 500x more rest than that.
