What if rest was never meant to be deserved?
In this episode, Drea unpacks the quiet belief that you have to exhaust yourself before you’re allowed to stop. From spiritual teachings to lived experience, this conversation challenges hustle culture, guilt-filled downtime, and the pressure to always be productive.
This is a gentle but honest reflection on why rest feels so hard, where that belief comes from, and what changes when we stop treating downtime like a reward.
If you’ve ever felt uneasy sitting still, this episode is for you.
